The weathering beauty

[Prajwal J Ullal]

ID: Rhamphicarpa fistulosa(Tutari)

Came across this beautiful flowering plant along the trail towards the Western ghats. Though encountering it early in the morning, interestingly it blooms in the night/early morning and starts weathering down by the time the sun is properly up in the sky.

The dew drops have created a very nice effect. You know why it is called 'Tutari' in Marathi? Thanks for sharing.

Not very sure, but may be because it looks like a tutari, the vocal instrument???
