... yes Hemant, a common plant ... by rarity I meant in terms of its flowers being photographed - my expression was incomplete ... apologies. Most of times, it is the fruits that attracts attention, the flowers go unnoticed because it blends with foliage.
What we see in the photo - I thought are the female flowers. The flowers appearing below must be the male flowers. Take a look at photos I have, I need your validation. ♂ http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/2641930594/ ♀ http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/2641095983/ Regards.
