What a beauty Satishji!  I think one coco plant is in Jijamata. My friend tried to show me the flowers. But i could not understand this beauty then. To be very frank like a lady instict i feel that the design should be given to the goldsmith to have beautiful earrings. Thanks for showing the close up. And again a surprise to have coco plant in Malvaceae Madhuri --- On Thu, 8/9/11, Satish Phadke <drsmp...@gmail.com> wrote:

Dear Satish ji,

Small correction to the common name. I think it should be cocoa plant. Lovely photographs of the flowers. The plant exhibits cauliflory.

Regards,

Mohan

Thanks Mohan ji for the correction as well as further info. in continuation with the thread.

Yes "Cauliflory" An important character here.For those who don't know...

Flowers arising directly from the stem.
