Hi, Dinesh ji & other friends, Efforts of Dinesh ji & confirmation from Daniel Mosquin is now a big story, *stumping so many on Id except our own Dinesh ji*- see the big story at: http://www.humanflowerproject.com/ Now I recall I think these flowers are used in Kali Temple, Kolkata for garlanding the deity. I will have a close look when I get the opportunity to do so next time in Kolkata. 2009/1/14 J.M. Garg <[email protected]>
