Brahma Kamal, a Very Rare Flower Bloomed at My Home

Brahma Kamal(ब्रह्मकमल) is one of the unique flower that blooms only at night time and so it is popularly known as "Night blooming Cereus", "Queen of the night", "Lady of the night". It is also known as King of Himalayan flower. Saussurea obvallata is the botanical name of this flower. Brahma Kamal begins to bloom after sunset and at night sets in and reaches its maximum beauty till the midnight(12.00 am).

Brahma Kamal is the beautiful creation of the Almighty. I was very much happy to see this flower for the first time, blooming at home at Dharwad.
