Rosy Eranthemum (AKA Blue Eranthemum) [Botanical Name: Eranthemum Roseum]

Mostly found in the Western Ghats of India (area locally known as Sahyadri Hills), these beautiful flowers bloom violet-blue, and turn rosy-red after aging. I photographed this beautiful flower in the forests of Matheran. I was lucky to photograph different ages of the flower in the same small bunch.
