You are right. You have to look for flowers only in late evening actually
night. In the morning all the flowers are wilted. Pollination by
bats........night flowering!

> This kigelia africana syn: pinnata was seen by me at Lalbaug, Bengalaru
> on  16th Feb '09, both fruiting and flowering. It is mentioned in books that
> flowering is generally in April, so this one is flowering early! It is a
> huge tree and an absolute  delight to watch. These pics were taken between
> 7.00 pm and 8.00pm, that is also the time the buds flower of this tree and
> fall off at dawn.
