One of the more known flowers and seen in plenty, hundreds of variations and my blog is in time for this particular one - Easter Lily. Lots of stories connecting Easter and these pretty while lilies. Also, a great flower to learn flower anatomy, the other being the classic Hibiscus (which my bio teacher at school used to teach us). A short lesson here - Stigma (the entry that leads to the flower bud that contains the egg), the Pistil (the channel through which the pollen travels), Anthers (produce pollen - male), Stamen (provides support). The petals (not marked) for attracting insects to facilitate pollination. Not seen are the Sepals used to protect the flower bud - a simple illustration here.
Name: Lilium longiflorum
When: Feb - March (by early April the ones at home had withered).
Where: Pune, in our home flower pot - this is as local as it can get :-)
