Dear Rahul
Lovely photos that bring back childhood memories.

As a child growing up in Trivandrum, these flowers used to be an object for
play amongst my friends and I. We used to blow into it close the mouth of
the petals and tap the flower against our chins to produce sounds. And the
one who could do that longest  without the flower bursting, used to be
considered the winner. This flower used to be sold and i distinctly remember
my grandmother buying them for me.
In an age of computer and video games this would sound quite stupid but I
know it gave us such joy!

These grow in Sahyadris, for i have seen them on the Tiwai Hills near Chas
kaman dam.

best wishes
geetha
