Flowers of the Tea Plantations


Not only are the mosaic of tea plants beautiful in Kerala’s tea plantations, they are interspersed with the most beautiful wild flowers, many of which in cultivated versions are found in gardens in the UK and Canada. Wild rhododendrons, fuschia, hydrangea, snapdragons, hibiscus, poinsettia and others we could not identify abound.

I think of this as the lucky bean tree flower

poinsettias grown at the end of tea rows
