Dear Neil and Garg ji,

Long time back I saw butterflies attracting on this flower in Bharatpur. I thought this will be good to have inthe garden so I brought few seed pods. In few years time now it is everywhere and in fact this year we are removing it from garden and keeping it only on edges near the fence. It has not an indigenous plant. It has strong tubers.

Beautiful flower but needs to be controlled in the garden. Seed pods crack to spread the seeds.
