Karkal, 03 Aug 2015: Sixty-two Brahma lotuses have bloomed in the garden of progressive farmer of Mundkoor – Shiva Sapaliga on Sunday August 2 night. The sapling that was planted 2 years ago, bloomed once in 2014 and twice in 2015. This year the numbers of flowers bloomed has risen from last year.
It’s a rarity that the flower blooms only after midnight, while this year it has bloomed at 8.00pm owing to monsoon season. It’s also significant that it blooms in the midst of leaves. Meanwhile, if one intends to grow the plant, he/she got to plant the leave and not the saplings.
The entire household of Shiva Sapaliga is radiating the scent of Brahma lotus along with other flowers that bloomed at his garden.
