Speaking to Telangana Today, Venkanna who is an employee of Education department, informed that he planted sapling of Brahma Kamalam in August, 2020 and for first time, a flower bloomed on Monday night. The sapling of Brahma Kamalam would survive only when pure water would be poured to it. Generally, the growers of Brahma Kamalam would pour purified water to the plant for its survival. The family members of Venkanna poured drinking water supplied through municipal water connection to the plant.
