Sun Kissed PINK CLOUDS

Last Updated 14 May 2009, 15:18 IST


 So all visitors were treated to a yellow sunburst, a splatter of pink edged with gold and ruby borders with swirls of orange thrown in.

There were metallic bronze and river green pages from a Nature’s diary and one whole bush sported only all the yellow it could borrow from the sun’s boiling blazing face.

It amounted to a circus of rainbow razzle dazzle to open up this plant’s amazing paint box. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, has recommended this plant also known as Joseph’s Coat of Many Colours for growing inside buildings to remove chemical vapours from indoor air.

This plant needs full sunlight to make its colourful coats shimmer.
