It was said that it only blooms every 3000 Years. Chrysoperla's egg too will be found near by the flowers.
it was growing / sticking on my car. took a few shots. Too bad that i did not have my macro lens with me.

"According to the Buddhist scriptures, Udumbara is an imaginary flower that only blossoms every 3000 years when the King of Falun comes to the human world. According to the Fahua Text, a scripture that explains the Fahua Sutra, Udumbara appears every three thousand years. Huilin Yinyi, a collection of Buddhist sutras, claims this heavenly flower is a sign of rare preciousness and a miracle."
