I took these pictures on my trip to Kodaikanal during the Christmas holidays. We did not have to visit a botanical garden to take these photographs because flowers grew everywhere – on walls, over fences, in the crevices of rocks, on street corners and in pots.
If any of you know the names of these flowers please let me know so I can add a caption to these photographs. Until then, I shall simply call them ‘Flowers.’

Beautiful all of them! I love the water droplets on the pink flower.
Thank you Pragalbha! Kodai was refreshing because of these pretty flowers growing everywhere. I love that you noticed those droplets.

Awesome and such captivating pictures of lovely flowers, Smitha. Thanks for your amazing share.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👌👌👌👌
I loved my trip to Kodai!
The bottom picture is of a hydrangea, next one up is white clover, some sort of daisy above that, then I don’t know any of the others except the top one, which is a rose.
Thank you so much Mick for your help. Will add the names right now. I loved Kodai too…so want to go back.
I hope you do.
Done 🙂 .Thanks again!
Lovely blooms!
Andrea thank you! Would you by any chance know the names of the flowers I haven’t labeled?
I don’t sorry.
Lovely pictures. Two pictures above daisies is Angel’s trumpets and the daisies are specifically called – Mexican wall daisies.
Thank you Manisha for letting me know. I just updated it 🙂
Oh, just recollected the tree above Mexican wall daisies is ‘Weeping bottlebrush’. In case you’re interested in Flora and Fauna of Kodai/Palani hills, Pippa Mukherjee has written a really nice book on it. That’s where I got the names from.
Thanks so much Manisha🙂. Its very sweet of you to let me know. I shall update it. The flora of Kodai was simply enchanting. It’s good to know there’s a book with all the names in it. Thank you again!
