Beauty of flowers :

The flowers in nature are very attractive and beautiful. Right from children to adults everyone is interested to have a look into the unique beauty of nature. Flowers enhance the beauty of the place where they are grown.

Veggie flowers:

Veggie flowers are those flowers that bloom before a vegetable grows in a particular plant. They go unnoticed most of the time but some have the special qualities in them to attract the attention of people. Their presence in a park or garden gives a pleasant look to the environment. They are rarely used as food, But most of the time they are used for flower arrangement, decorative purposes and also in flower vases. Women in some parts of the world wear them in their beautiful hair. Some types of flowers are very expensive because of their great demand. People buy them during special occasion and celebrations.

How they go unnoticed:

Most of the people concentrate on the taste of vegetables while they use it as food. People seldom look at the beauty and variety of flowers that bloom in a particular plant. Flowers bloom in a plant to develop seeds or fruits in them and some plants bear the flowers just for the sake of flowering. Only these kind of flowering plants are well known all over the world. But there exists a different world of flowers in those plants where daily consuming vegetables are grown. They go unnoticed. Different vegetables show a variety of flowers blooming around. Step into the beautiful veggie flower garden and know their secret.

People usually water the plants early in the morning. One can see the number of flowers that are in full bloom and others in the budding stage. It is very much common in people who care for their flowers and plants. On keen observation of the wonderful flowers, their beauty and color variety can never go unnoticed.

Normally, there is never a similarity between the colour of flowers and vegetables growing in a particular plant. Only the color in Brinjal flower somewhat matches the vegetable growing in it later. In some veggie plants, even though flowering is white, the growing vegetable has a dark color. If flowering takes place at the ground level the vegetable too grows in the similar way.

Beauty of the blooming flowers and vegetables in a plant:

There isn't any sign of bitterness as the yellow flowering is seen in the Bitter gourd creeper. Flowers having a long sepal always swing and move in air very pleasantly and attract many insects in the nature. Only the formation of petals in a flower and their overlay vary from one another. Flowers in a Cucumber plant bloom in between the leaves and attract the Honey bees that fly along in the morning.

Ridge gourd flowers are much bigger like the vegetable itself. As they grow over their big leaves they face the sun. Color and size of a Tomato plant can never be similar. Small yellow colored petals grow in a stem with greenish color of almost the same size. Bunches of flower grow in them. Tomatoes growing later will also come out in similar fashion. White colored Tinder flowers grow on dark green creepers, scattered all over. Ash gourd flowers are somewhat white and big. Small and white colored flowers in Green chillies have their own attraction. They grow in such a way that they outnumber their leaves. Leaves almost become invisible in this plant. Lot of Chillies grow in them, later.

Green beans bear dark pink flowers and are much more attractive. They have a long stem and grow on the bottom side of creepers. Lady’s finger flower looks like a microwave antenna. They grow along the path where there is lot of insect movement. The inner circle of flower is brownish in color. The Radish flower is light blue and grows in small bunches.

Grow them in your backyard:

Cooking and trying a veg food becomes more of a fantastic experience by imagining the color and beauty in a veggie plant. Grow them in your backyard and enjoy.

Who is going to get the world's fastest train?

2010-06-15T01:54:00.000-07:00

Right now, the question is, "Who is going to get the fastest train in the world?"

Railways have been the best, when it comes to mass transportation. The latest technologies have been tried in the development of this mode of transportation. Many nations already have the fastest means of transportation. Bullet trains and Maglev trains have changed the lifestyle of many nations. Many of them are still on their way to get the fastest trains.

China has just unveiled it's fastest train. It topped out at a whopping 245mph (394km/h) during the trial runs. However, the average speed is 217mph (350 km/h). The new train is more faster than the bullet train, and it links the city of Wuhan in central China to Guangzhou in the south, covering a total distance of 663 miles (1,068km). The latest rail service cuts the travel time and makes it easy for citizens to travel long distances. Now, It has cut short the distance between the two cities from over 6 hours down to 2 hours and 45 minutes.

In the United States, President Obama has made an announcement to the sunshine state, Florida that the first phase work of their bullet train system will soon start. $2.5 billion will be initially spent for the first phase. The high speed bullet train system from Orlando to Tampa, will eventually connect to Miami.

Solar powered bullet trains would make their entry soon. Arizona state's Tucson to Phoenix travel may soon be blazing across the desert in speeding solar powered bullet trains. Traveling at a speed of 220mph the bullet train would make the trip in just 30 minutes flat. The 110 megawatts power would be generated by solar panels mounted above the tracks. This solar powered bullet train system is being proposed by Solar Bullet LLC, founded by Bill Gaither and Raymond Wright.

Hi-fi and classic trains

It will be the world's longest driverless rail system, with a total length of approximately 75 kilometers, consisting of the newly completed Red Line and the Green Line (Phase II) currently under construction, which will run through the old city along Dubai Creek.

Trains: Part of our daily life

Old and beautiful trains:

The old trains have become totally outdated and they are run only in hills and valleys as narrow gauge trains. Most of these old trains are now just show pieces at big museums in the world. But the enchanting beauty and looks of the old trains have made them unique pieces for the exhibition. We can see some of the oldest models in these museums.

In India, to encourage tourism the government introduced trains having royal looks and luxury. They are called “Palaces on Wheels”. It is worth travelling in these trains if someone need comforts and royal luxury while travelling.

Mumbai’s electric trains add nerves to the peoples’ lifestyle there. During rush hours it becomes very difficult to travel from one place to another in this huge city. But the people have got adjusted to the fast life and environment here like in other big cities of the world.

Goods or Freight trains:

Double decker Trains:

Some trains have sexiest and sleek looks. As they move along the twist and turns of hills and forests, they can also be described as simlilar to "ladies with beauty".

Toy trains:

Trains are also a poet’s favorite sometimes. Many poets have described the trains in their poems. A few are also kids’ rhyme songs like the song of engine,"Engine number nine". This rhyme song is taught in Kindergarten schools all over the world. Shall we have a look into this rhyme song?

Engine, engine number nine,
When it’s ready it will shine;
Engine, engine number nine,
Then we’ll ride on the Bombay line.

The inventors of the engine and train will be surely smiling from the heavens to see them highly developed by leaps and bounds, in all these years.
