Thank you Bhagyashri Ji, I got the same. I think both are same species. Leaves do not show much variation

Plese compare picture no. 260920111981.jpg and 230920111877.jpg (previous post use the link below) with 270920112017.jpg (this post).

Look at the picture 230920111877.jpg you can see that there different types of leaves in the same stem.

Size and shape may vary according to the availability of light/shade and water for some plants. But if you compare the flowers they are basically the similar.

Link for previous post for comparison.

Ok but I am not fully convinced about the leaves My previous post the leaves are much longer and pale green whereas todays post they are roundish broager and dark green. But I take your word as I am totally ignorant about plants
