  11. I have them over at my mother's place and in my language it's called Kalyana saugandhikam (Quite a mouthful eh??) or Sugandhi. I googled for its English name and found it is called Common ginger lily or Garland flower :)
    The flowers have a silky look and your lines are very apt :)

  12. Oh really? Great...:-) I took that photo in one of my hubby's aunt's garden....yes, the texture of the petal is silky, hence I thought it would be apt to use the word 'silken to touch'! Beautiful Kalyana, indeed! :-)
