In Goa, rural women use bunches of the attractive caronda fruit to adorn their hair-do, too!
ReplyDeleteThe fruits are pretty lotusleaf! How I wish my carissa would give me fruits and flowers like yours. What a wonderful plant!
ReplyDeleteBtw, I forgot that you are from India and missed mentioning you in my latest post. Sorry. I really like to drop by to read you post very much.
Have a blessed day!
Shailaja, interesting hair ornament for the rural women!
ReplyDeleteStephanie, It takes a little time, and then it will flower.
Very interesting and I like the looks of the fruit.

Good day! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an
ReplyDeleteestablished blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I'm thinking
about making my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions? With thanks

ReplyDelete(it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips for inexperienced blog writers? I'd really
appreciate it.

Amazing issues here. I am very satisfied to peer your post.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much and I'm taking a look ahead to touch you. Will you kindly drop me a mail?

I think what you posted was actually very reasonable. However, consider this,
ReplyDeletesuppose you were to write a awesome post title? I am not suggesting
your information is not good., but suppose you added
a post title to possibly get a person's attention? I mean "Caraonda" is a little boring. You ought to glance at Yahoo's home page and watch how
they write post titles to grab people interested. You might add
a video or a related pic or two to get people excited about everything've got to say. Just my opinion, it could make your posts a little livelier.

last month I saw a strange tree with dead fruit and bird nest on it, the dead fruits are dried and soil color, I think its the same plant.
ReplyDeleteI am going to get some cutting of this plant where i saw it(near a reservoir)to grow at home. Thanks .
