Love all the pictures! Winter is finally ending here, so it'll be nice to see flowers again in my part of the world.

Ohh, here it is called Chinese chilli ( cheenimulaku ), thats all.
We have many things with connection to China like Chinese fishnets ( already blogged about it), chinese cooking vessel ( Cheenachatti ), maracheeni ( tapioca ), cheena bharani ( a large ceramic vessel to store pickled fruits like mangoes ), chinese potatoes ( Koorkka ) etc.
Interesting, isn't it?
Well, it seems all these were introduced here by traders probably. As you know so many visitors came to the shores of India from time immemorial.
Anyway, all these items are tagged as Chinese, as the names suggest in local language.
Nice comment, Shirely :)
