Quirky and Queer

Posted by Shrikant on Saturday, April 19, 2014
I was passing under a tree and a sudden quirk had me photographing the tree. The Cannon Ball tree. At great "personal risk" The fruits are as large as cannon balls and allegedly allergic and to some extent poisonous as well. Means mechanical as well as chemical damage :O
It has kinda queer looking creeper like appendages from which the fruits and flowers hang. Oh I forgot, it has very very very beautiful flowers. And my camera (phone) had decided to focus at a very queer point. None of the beautiful details are emphasized :(

    The flower is more commonly referred to as 'Shivling flower.'
