So it is out-of-bounds for me. All photos were taken from the first floor balcony of my house. As closer approach was not possible I used a long tele-zoom instead of a macro lens. Hence the quality suffered. Here are 3 attachments: 1) A Common Jay on the flowers 2) A general view of the creeper showing the leaves 3) A close-up of the flowers Thank you very much for your enthusiasm and help.

This will help in identifying the plant.

The plant found support on the branches of a mango tree. Here is a Common Crow on the flowers. The following is the list of butterflies visiting the flowers: 1. Common Crow (Euploea core) 2. Grey Pansy (Junonia atlites) 3. Danaid Eggfly (Hypolimnas misippus) 4. Common Leopard (Phalanta phalantha) 5. Peacock Pansy (Junonia almana) 6. Common Albatross (Appias albina) 7. Common Jay (Graphium doson) 8. Plain Tiger (Danaus chrysippus) 9. Common Emigrant (Catopsilia crocale) 10. Monkey Puzzle (Rathinda amor) 11. Tailed Jay (Graphium agamemnon) 12. Unknown species about the size of Monkey Puzzle I will be posting the photos very soon. I would very much like to know the name of this plant.
