Botanical Graden** in Ooty occupies Centre stage for South Indians during the peak of May when its annual Flower show is staged with awe inspiring effort of one Month to culminate into one of the finest flower shows in this Country.111 years of experience it has in organizing this splendour which was attended by close to 5 lakh people on May 21-22, the highest figure ever.
Botanical Gardens, another wonderful work of the British was formed in 1847 has more than 700 varieties of Trees of medicinal and arborous value spread across 50 acres. On the upper deck of the Gardens, you can find more than 35 types of eucalyptus trees just enough to live long years in this Nature abound cottage Village.
Nilgiri Tip 5:- A tea at various Estate points helps you to keep warm and enjoy its delectable taste.
The annual Flower show has three different sections to watch and adore-
Part A:- Variety of rare Vegetables and fruits that are grown in Nilgiris are displayed and are also for sale.
Part B:-Thousands of varieties of flowers are show cased in the form of full plants, vases and bouquets across the quadrilateral stretch with some exotic flower plants arranged in some wondrous forms in the Centre. The major attraction was the flower basket(which I am holding) containing 100s of varieties or roses and the Eiffel Tower.
Part C:-Is the sponsored section where the local Ooty Companies and Corporations have their booths to show case some exotic flowers with their skills. Fruit sculpture and India on flowers was the major attraction. Also included are several Horticulture booths for enlightening ourselves in Botany.
What you enjoy as a once in a life time feel of these flowers will be at the cost of Huge Crowd in the Garden, traffic jam entering the Garden, packed town of Ooty and poor sanitation.
Nilgiri Tip 6:- Off season travel is more serene and wonderful to be just alone in the world of its own.
Still its worth the wonder called Flower on which my ode goes:-
Oh Flower, my lovely flower
*From eternity, you take the bloom
*As you spread a decorative cover
*From light, you take the blossom
Oh Flower, my lovely flower
*The Queen of this world
*You live, the one day wonder
*In which all mystique unfold
Oh Flower, my lovely flower
*The beauty of all your petals
*One to hold for a lover
*And the borders of all your sepals
Oh Flower, my lovely flower
*Your nectar, the honey for Bees
*On God, you ornate your power
*Your aroma, the passion for Ladies
Oh Flower, my lovely Flower
*Your colour, dream for the Artist
*You drop, as you expire
*A new flower, when we desist
There is one flower(not plastic) which will last for a year, do guess it in comments.
Hope I have not bored with my outrageously boring poem.Thanks for watching & reading.
