Gurcharanji:

Very nice to see you have close ups of the flowers and even the pods

My older pics are on film and I cant put my hands on them at this point...
I had stayed around by some of these trees ( for a few days in the 90s) and photographed a lot of the pollinators that came...   I wish I could find them, even if just to look at myself!!
