Kissed by the rains

Glory lily - At Nayapakkam, near Chennai

 

Another wildflower beauty I adore. This has been used as a medicine across cultures in the treatment of a range of diseases from wounds, ulcers and snakebites.

 

A native species, there are references to this plant in some poems as old as the 10th-4th cent. BC!

 

Meant to post this as a follow-up to the previous image a long time back, but sigh!!
