BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS OF AMAZING ‘CANNONBALL TREE’

April 30, 2014Sunil H Agrawal 6 Comments

Nature is full of surprises. You just need to look around yourself for the
wonders it has created. Last week, when I was shooting the lotus flowers at a
pond in Navi Mumbai, one of the curious onlooker took to me this wonderful tree
popularly called as ‘Cannonball tree’ or ‘Nag Chafa’ in Marathi. I could not
shoot the flowers that day as it was fading but decided to come next day.

Next day, I visited the tree to witness a sweet and strong scent oozing out of
those lovely flowers. Sharing here with the pictorial journey of this wonderful
tree…

These trees are rare to find but the usual locations are near Shiva temples in
India. Flowers bloom on the small extrusions coming out on the main trunk

This cannonball shaped fruit of the tree is the real weapon. When ripe, this
fruit falls on the earth with a loud bang thereby dispersing the seeds for its
propagation… The falling fruit could also pose threat to the people standing
below…

Flowers mostly grow above a few feet height on the main truck though a extruded
twig

Some times the flowers grown in bunches. Have a very strong sweetish scent and
very bright colored petals for attracting the bees and other insects for cross
pollination

Speechless to describe the mother natures creation…

My curiosity drove me to find more and more about this tree. Thanks to google,
it has medicinal properties as well

The curved stamen gives it a look of snake hence the marathi name ‘Nag Chafa’
meaning flower resembling a snake.

Don’t neglect the wonders of nature if ever you get an opportunity to be close
with it… This shot taken from my 40mm prime lens

While you enjoy beauty of these flowers, be aware of the falling fruits which
could lead to serious injuries as they weigh several kilos in weight and have
hard cover outside..

These fragrant flowers open up early in the morning generally after 7am but do
not last long and the petals keep on falling through out day.

Scientific name ‘Couroupita Guianensis’. Belongs to the Brazi Nuts family. More

    Hello sir,
    Thanks for information, actually I came across this plant in Pune when my
    sis in law shifted her house to new place.
    I really fascinated by this flower, I tried a lot to gather information of
    this plant but failed to get it.
