Dear All Did you know that Ariya has a flower named after him? It might be flowering once in 400 years but we are lucky to have seen it in our midst since 1964.
Thanks Praxy,
‘ Ariya flower’ isn’t a loner.isolated from the clutch
Everyone a fragrant precious flower, in ‘64 batch
Affection & care we’ve for each other has no match
Hence we do swim together in the great ocean of life

Dear Ariya

Dear Sree,
Article about the flower was published by Praxy and not by me.
Yes we should all contribute in any way we can as Sam’s gift for our batch, ‘The web’ has done an immense service connecting us altogether very nicely, Of course there had been very erudite publications by clever mates, and names Simone, Seelan, Deepthie, Praxy, Ruthraj, Narme and Nisantha come to mind.
You too had been quite active, We must keep the interest going as long as we possibly can

Hi Colleagues, Without reference to ” our Ariya”, I think that this flower story is a hoax for several pics of different flowers with similar story lines have been circulating time and again for a couple of years. There are very few trees that live for 400 years to start with and the flower in pic also looks very much like a rare orchid.Sorry for being a spoil sport but I think that it is a ” hoax”.Keep well and safe and keep the pandemic in focus. Eddie.
You are as usual a darling, dear Seelan
Pushing modesty to touch, I shall give in
Second half of name is ‘ratne’ means a gem
Shall accept what comes, flowers or bricks thrown

Thanks for the post Ariya. A flower named after you – how nice. What a beautiful flower.
I read the account on the first liver transplant in Sri Lanka that Sreemaha has alluded to. Very remarkable.
