Hi,   I believe the same is also true for the Screw Fruit Bush [Helicterus isora] locally called Murudsheng, where the flowers change from red to purple - though not seen here in these photographs.               With regards,                 Neil Soares. --- On Thu, 7/30/09, Swagat <swaga...@gmail.com> wrote: From: Swagat <swaga...@gmail.com> Subject: [indiantreepix:15085] Re: Catunaregam spinosa To: "Parjanya guru" <guroo...@gmail.com> Cc: "satish phadke" <phadke...@gmail.com>, "Rajendra Shinde" <rdsh...@gmail.com>, "indiantreepix Indian" <indian...@googlegroups.com> Date: Thursday, July 30, 2009, 7:09 PM Really...
