Neelakurinji! Neelakurinji!
The purple blue flowers!
That blooms on the serene hills of Munnar,
Indefatigable mountains of Western Ghats.
Incredible flowers that appear once, in twelve years!
Both Nature and Man wait with eagerness,
For the arrival of Neelakurinji to spread
And spring its mesmerising splendour.
Standing atop these breezy hills,
Sight of breath-taking -' Kunthiana'
The sensational flowers that dance in your heart,
Singing a song of purple blue melody.
I watched the sprightly dance of the windy mountains,
Standing, Stretching, turning, twirling,
Spreading, sprawling along the Munnar hills, Then,
I danced too, along with the magical, purple blue flowers!

Part - 4 blue windy mountains! From 2007 to 2019 it has been completed twelve years and it was expected to enjoy blooming of Neelakurinji flowers during July to October but it is a matter of regret that rains lashed and flooded Munnar that hampered the flowering of Neelakurinji.

Nature has any number of hidden treasures. Neelakurinji, flowering only once in twelve years, imparting a wonderful hue to the entire Nilgiris is one such treasure. Man is already encroaching her habitat and it may not be long before she also feels the heat...
