[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
These flowers are for my two gifted friends from Spain sharing the same name: JOSE (JORAPAVI & JMP). Both are artists of extraordinary gifts. For both of them, Art and Nature are synonymous.

I shot these wild flowers in the hills of India. I thought the seven of them together made a good composition, so I went for them.
My erudite friend Ulla has helped me graciously in identifying the species, so here is a bit of general information on it:

SOLANUM

Solanum is a large, variable genus of annual plants and perennial plants, forbs, vines, sub-shrubs, shrubs, and small trees. They often have attractive fruit and flowers. Most are poisonous, but many bear edible fruits, leaves, or tubers, and the genus includes several cultivated species, including three major food crops such as Tomato, (Solanum lycopersicum), Potato, (Solanum tuberosum) and Eggplant, (Solanum melongena ).
Solanum species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species.

Regards to all and thanks for looking.

Hi Ram,

Wonderful capture of this flower, brought to us from your beautiful native country. Perfect exposure, natural colors, very good details and very nice green background.
If I've given you beautiful flowers, you return me the essence of beauty, build up of external awareness. Without persons like you, images from reality would be recorded in my brain as neuronal chemicals, lacking in communication, that it is main purpose (source and target) of beauty.

Thank you very much for such a lovely dedication.
José Miguel

Hola Ram,
Perdona que te conteste en español, pero el inglés lo leo con ayuda del traductor ya que mis nociones son muy básicas, espero seguir mejorando para poder escribirlo. Me gusta mucho la composición de la flor con sus bellos colores contrastando con el verde del fondo, la luz y nitidez son excelentes. Estoy de acuerdo con Ulla en cuanto a la planta que también creo que pertenece al género Solanum
Gracias por tu amable dedicatoria, con vuestros consejos y ánimos espero seguir mejorando, recibe mi mas sincero agradecimiento. Un abrazo

Una conocida flor muy difundida aqui en Buenos Aires retratadas con bellos colores y bonito punto de vista Ram.
El contraste de las flores contra el fondo verde crea una estética composición.
Sólo criticaría el recorte de la flor superior que no está completa.
Cordialmente... Ricardo

A well known flower very diffused here in Buenos Aires depicted with beautiful colors and nice point of view Ram.
The contrast of the flowers against the green bottom believes an aesthetic composition.
Only I would criticize the cutting of the superior flower that is not complete.
Cordially... Ricardo

Hi Ram,
It's a very kind idea from you to dedicate these beautiful flowers for both Joses. And your picture is excellent, well balanced and in a way so fresh.
Best regards
Anne

Hello Ram
A nice cluster of happy white blossoms you share with us. The white blossoms against the emerald green background make for a nice composition. The lighting is soft and creates vivid colours. A very pretty display of blossoms.
