My grandfather's first cousin, who is no longer amidst us today. He had been battling cancer for the last few years and finally succumbed to the dreaded disease last Sunday. A renowned floriculturist, a successful nursery owner, an ardent plant lover who had gifted me this plant (Bilbergia fantasia) on one of my visits to his farm a few years back. He will be missed by me and all the bereaved family members he left behind.
In Memory of our 'Trail Blazer' Uncle J
Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It's the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here's a happy one for you.

So sorry to read about your loss, Radhika. But it looks like your uncle definitely made the Earth a much prettier place. That bloom looks so exotic!
