graffiti @ Rishikesh
This must probably be my fifth or sixth visit to the little town. Caught sight of this big-eyed happy tomato trying to eat spaghetti on the walls of Rishikesh not far from the Laxman Jhulla. It was a sunny day and the sunny colours of the graffiti echoed it. The graffiti is signed ‘Bianca Wolff, Australia, EW 15’. Someone sure left her mark!

Not a very clear picture but nonetheless, this was my one and only sighting of lam nongmangkha – the cousin of orange blooms of nongmankha which I had posted earlier. I should mention that it might not be rare but that I am in fact a lazy explorer of plants. This was captured at Ita Fort, Arunachal Pradesh.
These lovely deep red lilies bloom around the month of April in the northeast part of India as the climes turn warmer into a colorful spring. It is called modollei in Manipuri but because it generally blooms in April, it is also nicknamed the April Fool flower.
