Thank you Garg ji for the wonderful support you give to all the
beginners like me.I had Botany in college many many decades ago. So I
really need to work hard to catch up as Im in the forests very
frequently for my conservation work.
I dont think I have seen Kapok seeds within fibres as was shown in the
picture.The pods are very prominent and I need to keep a watch because
they are still intact. The flowers too look very attractive and I
found Sun-birds love them.
You are like a walking encyclopaedia and so is Dr.Bhatt.
Thank you all for motivating us.
With best regards,
Purnima
