Dear Dinesh ji I don't think there is anything peculiar. 1. The flowers in your photograph and that by Shubhada are similar. The photograph reproduced by Pradip Kishen in his book Trees of Delhi are very similar to Shubhada from old leafless branch. 2. Sterculia foetida in Delhi produces new leaves in late March or early April, flowers mid to Late March, so it should not be unusual to see young leaves (in your photograph) along with the inflorescences with flowers.

I am referring to my own sightings, where I get to see flowering in a profuse manner in much branched ¿ panicles ? arising from tender branches, and just below canopy of leaves. Whatever Shubhada ji has sighted is certainly interesting ... flowering twig stemming from altogether dried-up branch with no scars of fallen leaves. Attaching few of my photos, more at http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Sterculia+foetida&w=91314344%40N00&s=int&z=e Regards.
