Nilgiri Tahr ont he slopes with Neelakurinji bloom int he foreground "Earth laughs in flowers" - Ralph Waldo Emerson And her this laugh takes twelve years to bloom! Well, I am talking about Neelakurinji - a flower endemic to Southern Western Ghats which blooms every twelve years. Like many others I too was very curious to witness this enigmatic beauty of the rolling hills of Munnar carpeted with bluish purple flowers. Sometimes reality bites! Well, I saw the blooms but no carpets, more tourists in bright colored clothes than flowers!
