These flowers bloom at night, emit a smell resembling over ripe jack fruit and attract bats to pollinate the flowers. The flowers bloom in rainy season. Regards, Shrikant

Dear Shrikant Ji,
I think there are some problem with the attachments. Neither the photo uploads into original size when I click view nor it opens into its original size when I download it. Kindly help.

Yes there seems to be some problem. I tried another option: download the picture. My photoshop gave me three options. All three showed same size image 190 x 142 size. The grain breaks if you try to enlarge it.

Hi Dr.Kadus,
  Photographed at Shahapur today. Couldn't make it overnight, so had to be content with only fallen flowers. Sending you a few photographs.
                   With regards,
                    Neil Soares.
