Dear Surajit ji, plants looks very beautiful when in flower. Here in Mumbai during festivals we get lots of flowers in the market.

Regards,

Mani

Dear Mani Ji,

I am very naive on flora, as you know since our fb days! After spending about a year in eFI i have learned only a few wild species. Maybe i will start on garden species as well.
