What are flowers blooming in May?

Where in Kerala there is blooming of blue flowers once in 12 years?Which months do yhey bloom?

  • It seems to be a rare sight of flowers blooming in Kerala,Tiruvantapuram,India sometime in June-July.We want to visit specially to view it and need some details and advice.

  • Answer:

    Kurinji flowers bloom once in 12 years, between July and December . Kurinji (neelakurinji) has already flowered in some places near Kodaikanal (Tamil Nadu). But the bigger flowering would be at the Eravikulam National Park. It will also bloom gregariously on the hills between Klavarai in Tamil Nadu and Koviloor in Kerala. The National Park has several areas where kurinji will bloom including the public access area at Rajamalai.Patches of kurinji occur in the remaining sholas near Koviloor. Koviloor is a few hours drive from Munnar in Kerala. A jeep road connects Koviloor to Klavarai and Kodaikanal (Tamil Nadu). The road may not be motorable all the time (especially during monsoon).

Eravikulam National Park harbours the largets surviving population of Nilgiri tahr (Hemitragus hylocrius). This endangerd animal is endemic to the southern Western Ghats. Its nearest relative is the Himalayan tahr. The fully grown male is known as 'saddle back' is much bigger and darker than the female and has a silvery saddle like patch on its back. Mating takes place during monsoons and the birth season is January-February. The estimated population of tahr inside the park is about 700. Wild dog, leoperd and tiger are the main predators. Apart from tahr, other little known animals such as Nilgiri marten, small clawed otter, ruddy mongoose, and dusky striped squirrel are also found. Elephants make seasonal visits. About 120 species of birds have been recorded which include endemics like black and ornage flycatcher, Nilgiri pipit, Nilgiri wood pegeon, white bellied shortwing, Nilgiri verditer flycatcher and Kerala laughing thrush. Endemics confined to the shola-grass land ecosystem like the red disk bushbrown and Palni fourwing are among the 100 odd butterflies listed inside the park. The shola-grassland ecosystem is a strange admixture of temprature and tropical qualities due to the combined effects of altitude as well as latitude. It is exceptionally rich in orchids and balsams. The spectacular mass flowering of the shrub neelakurunji (Phlebophyllum kunthianum) takes place in the grasslands in cycles of the 12yrs. The next neelakurunji 'outburst' is due in the year 2006.
