This is a fantastic list of plant names. This will definitely achieve its purpose as more
and people are attracted to nature's treasures.
One another thing you started and left at midway is about the blog on the Njattuvelas

Still we know little about the transit of the Sun in the 27 stellar constellations.
I am sure you throw more light about our traditional farming practices of yester years.
