Saw the rare Neelakurunji flowers in #Coorg (#Madikeri) just off the #TajMadikeri property. Delicate small flowers, soft velvety young leaves that lose texture when fully grown. The species found in Coorg forests bloom once in 7/8 years.#neelakurunji #mandalpatti #sholaforest pic.twitter.com/FeBAB8xruE
