Surya mentions name of 100 flowers in Poovellam Kettupar and nearly most of the flowers he has mentioned is taken from a poem from Sangam Literature- Kurunjipaatu.
Kapilar , one of the greatest poets in Sangam era had mentioned 99 flowers found in the Kurunji region(Mountainous region). I have tried to provide the photos and scientific names of these 99 flowers .... If you want one other reason to visit the blog - you can find the photos of Aambal and Maval (Shivaji movie fame!)
