The Nilgiris mountains in the State of Tamil Nadu, India got its name because of this flower.
It is blue in colour and blooms in abundance in the hills once every12 years. The view is spectacular. Tourists who happen to be there in the year it blooms have a view to remember
I tried to copy the image from several Sites but did not succeed This link will take you there You may not be able to go there but surely you can enjoy the view clicking on this link
The name of the flower is Neelakurinji Neela means blue and the name of the mountains Nilgiris gets its name from this flower

That in itself is a pretty place to visit and if one can visit in the year this flower blooms that will be a bonus

@allknowing Indeed, the rarity of its blooming makes it truly something special to witness every 12 years.
