Petunia



Petunias are trumpet shaped flowers seen in many patterns, are available in stripes, speckles and borders .  And many colours too.  With the exception of orange.  Leaves and stems are sticky to the touch and have a distinctive odor.

Botanical name: Petunia hybrida     Family: Solanaceae (potato family)

The lovely petunias were photographed in my S-I-L's  home at Sainikpuri, Secunderabad.
