This post circulating on social media saying its a nagapushpa from the Himalayan Valleys is false. Its a Cobra Lilly Plant. More info at the verification section of the article.
Post Information:
Below post has been circulating on social media
This is nagapushpa that grows in the valleys of the Himalayas and flowers only once in 36 years.
హిమాలయ పర్వతం పై “నాగపుష్పం” విరిసింది ఈ పుష్పము 36 సంవత్సరాల ఒకసారి విచ్చుకుంటుంది, చూసేందుకు శేషా నాగ పడగము వలే ఉంటది. ఈ చిత్రాన్ని అందరికి షేర్ చేయండి అందరూ దర్శించుకుంటారు.
After a long years, this “Nagpushpa” flower is seen in Himalaya….. this flower looks like “Sesh Nag” and only seen every 36 years interval…. Please share this, so that most of the people can see and enjoy it…..??
Verification:
First of all its not a flower. It is a cobra lily plant (a kind of pitcher plant) called Griffith’s Cobra Lily (Arisaema griffithii)
