Dear Satish ji I don't think it is *C rheedii *either. The image i posted earlier in addition to this one has been identified as C rheedii which is distinguishable by the yellow patch in the petals. Also this particular * Capparis* flower is a large one, much bigger than C rheedii and it does not have any colour other than white.No violet, no yellow. I agree, these flowers are so very beautiful especially their stamens whose anthers seem to have such gentle colouration. So the search is on.... thank you and best wishes geetha
