Gloriosa Superba and Square Cucumbers
I took these snaps behind my office.
Apparently this is a fairly poisonous flower when ingested, but this flower finds medicinal uses in Ayurveda. It's Sanskrit name is AgniMukhi, meaning Fire Face.
Ever heard about Square Cucumbers?

"A specially developed cuccumber, which is box shaped. This is to facilitate the production of cuccumber sandwiches. The square slices fit on the bread without overhang...."
