Beautiful shot, Shrikant ji. I couldn't understand the structure of the inflorescence. Is the tip deformed? And the large number of flowers is quite unusual isn't it?!. But for the first time i am seeing the open flowers remain attached to the inflorescence! Hope you shot it during night.

Yes Vijay ji

I am sorry for the miss Shrikant ji. Somehow when I remember one, the other comes to my mind automatically: the most talented duo on our group (I hope I have hurt none else).

Thanks a lot for sharing sir, Yes Dr. Vijay, the inflorescence seems
to be deformed. Those protrusions are buds, so many of them on one
stalk that too is not elongated as it is in normal case.

Pankaj

Thank you Pankaj ji, Gurcharansingh ji, Vijay ji and Tanay ji. The
photo credit goes to Kishor Gumaste, my son in law. Let me share the
experience of taking this photo. I knew of a roadside Oroxylum tree in
a residential area in Pune and invited Kishor to shoot the flowers
with bats. We climbed on the roof of my Scorpio car to approach the
flowers. We were not swift enough for the bats to catch them in the
camera, hence had to hang on for a long time on the roof of the car at
midnight. The residents of a flat behind the tree woke up due to flash
and rushed out at us thinking that we were 'pappirazis' taking
pictures of their bedroom. We just managed to sneak a few pics without
the bats. This tree is known as 'Midnight Horror' and we had the jist
of it. Yes, I saw the fused panicle but had no courage to recheck the
same. Regards,

hahahaha....thats funny....I guess the flat owners must have cut the
tree by now..... Sometimes we do have to take risk. I remember few
days back I got to meet Dr. Ritesh and his boss. His boss (Korean
origin) was trying to take a picture of an elderly lady who was
working in cropfield. Lady was very much apprehensive, but Ritesh's
boss was not able to understand Gharwali or Kumauni. What she was
saying was, "DONT TAKE MY PIC OR I WILL CALL HUBBY AND SON!!!".
Somehow we managed to get away without taking the pic.

Pankaj

Shrikant Ji,
Nice shot ! I have seen these flowers first time travelling from
Guhagar to chiplun but unfortunately closed. I just asked Dr.Bachulkar
regarding the fertilisation. He told me the concept. That was an eager
to see the opened flowers. You,by uploading the photo,completed my
thirst.. Thank You very much Sir.
Regards,
Dr. Kadus Arvind,

I am just wondering, if one can ask the flat-owner for their permission in
advance.

I have a telescope to watch the sky at night, I sometimes use it to watch a
distant bird by day. I have told in my neighbourhood, that I don't want to
watch them or what they might be doing in the house. They have given me
permission to look thru my telescope in their direction, whenever I like.

I am of indian origin. Having lived in germany for quite some years, I
observe,
that my behavior and my way of thinking is a bit different than that of my
siblings. Many times it
causes misunderstandings even between us.

So my question is a serious one. Shrikant ji, I hope, I am not hurting you
and anyone else. Please excuse me.

Not understanding a language, oh, I can write a book
about my various experiences.
Regards
Nalini

Hi Shrikant ji...
lovely pic indeed. This species is new to me...the floral arrangement
is peculiar.
Well...your experience of taking pics of this flower is really funny,
and it reminds me of an incident when I was trying to take pictures of
Barn Owl perched on the neighbour's terrace during my visit to a
friend's house.
The bright flash caught the attention of an old lady, and she started
shouting at us from the window.....we somehow convinced her that we
were taking snaps of the Barn owl. But she thought we had gone crazy,
and closed the windows fast, and finally we took few nice snaps.
It was indeed a nice experience of wildlife photography.

regards
Shantanu :)
