Twittering again about Nature's wonders!


We have seen already about
the already observed and recorded wonders. But such wonders are still happening around us to be seen and recorded. I exhibit (twit!) here some of such wonder pictures for your viewing:

Parade of Winter and Spring Flowers


Winter and the spring are enchanting to both animals and plants. Birds sing their songs. Plants grow in luxuriance. They are green all over, and their flowers bloom in beautiful colors. These all the exhibits of the seasons enchant all of us. Here are some of their images:

Twin Roses
Passion flowers open at early morning and close at forenoon as sunlight intensifies.

The Wise and Benevolent Plant



Insects aid plants in pollination. Some plants avoid interference to this insect pollination: The Passion vine plant (Passiflora incarnata) produces nectar at the base of each leaf for ants that may interfere! This distraction also has another advantage: the plant is guarded by these ants round the clock! Really it is a WONDER in the Nature!

This plant exhibits a peculiar phenomenon. Its flowers bloom overnight and close at forenoon as soon as sun's rays heat them! This also happens even when the flowers are plucked and kept in the shadow!
