Dear Shantanu ji

Beautiful flowers indeed. It is difficult to guess the flower size.

It may be from Polygonaceae or Rosaceae.

Please provide the information as per posting guidelines in the same thread so that the comments might pour. Else very little response is generated.

I hope you will understand the limitations.

Regards

Dr Phadke

Dear all,

This looks like Polygonum sp. to me.....but some more photographs are required to confirm at species level.

Regards,
Ritesh.
