Hello Surajit,

     I have a particular liking for the closeup of the sepals as seen here
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/ji38nj4o1FwCCfESFPhnhD70SkdPhyvm4Hp19Weavv6o9ZB2WarjFEa3t1mVf8dNRlvHXrk01nOzKaTTz-64Wt1rwAJxUPR2adAhJLiNStV6-bJXdh8

I'd be interested in a view of any seedpods should anyone be in a position to share seedpod photos

regards,

Ron
