Usha Di,

There were no flowers on the tree when I clicked the above pictures.

But last year in August, I had seen a fallen flower at the same location.

Adding it.

Usha Di,

No I did not pick it up.

Post rains, there was a lot of grass growing everywhere and lots of mosquitoes.

I just had a quick round and came out.

It was not very comfortable.

Regards,

Aarti

Dear all Need some non botany wisdom hence you are all in the address 

sorry to bother you 

but it would help if those of you who 

routinely go out to photograph in all kinds of terrains and climates

may have collected wisdom

Aarti, Yes I sympathize

that's usually my fear for going to gardens this time of the year

but that's hen many tropical plants flower

we have lots of mosquitoes and

chikungunya and malaria and dengue

some encephalitis in the Ganges delta

and Japanese encephalitis and some other stuff in Northeast USA esp NY 

I try to use ODOMOS

i wonder if it prevents mosquitoes from landing on the body and clothes

or if it only prevents itching?

like a local anesthetic

No body seems to know

not even dermatologists i spoke with here

Spraying clothes with DEETS in NY seems to work up to a point

American CDC provides instructions

https://www.cdc.gov/zika/prevention/prevent-mosquito-bites.html  

Wonder if Dinesh and Gargji or all those intrepicd souls would have 

some wisdom to share

I will add them in recipient here and see

I believe using oils, or creams like odomos, etc. ward off mosquitoes / insects, and do not act as local anesthetic agents. In my experience, these do not protect for long, because they wear off due to our sweating / rain / etc. They need to be applied several times.

Regards.

Dinesh

[J.M. Garg]

Yes. I used to always carry and apply odomos to good effect.
