Really nice one Balkar ji

Have been looking for this for a long time, but could not get an ideal plant for photography.

A very useful natural shampoo as well. All parts of this plant can be
used as shampoo.
It helps the hair from premature and uncontrolled fall and it enhances
the hair growth. It helps for sound sleep as well.

What to do is that make a paste out of the plant parts (preferably
leaf, flower and bark). Apply it 30 before bath. Timing is according
to the health of the person. For instance, if a person is suffering
from cough and "vata" related ailments, he/she is not suppose to apply
it for long time.

Giby

Here is my picture of a flower... from garden of a Jain temple in Jiagunj, taken in April 2011...

no body plucks flowers for personal use... hence these flowers can be seen on the plants...
In my neighborhood in Clacutta men and women of all financial and educational class go for morning walks and without any hesitation pluck and and all flowers along the way ... even when I reuested them that I was trying to see if a seedpod would develop in one of my building's bahunia... and I even put a bag over it.... they are shameless thieves.... some I have been told are IAS officers!!! flower thieves....

Anyway on the good note: here's my flower ... the shrub was baout 8 - 9 feet tall....
Cheers to me!! now I am depressed all over.... :)

"Apply it 30 before bath" Please read this line of my previous mail as
follows. Apply it 30 minutes before bath.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Dear Usha di Ji,

Nice picture!
Planting this species is worth not only for shampoo but the dancing
flowers in the breeze is a good treat to eyes also.

Regards,
Giby
