> Hi,

> I had taken these pics many years ago in Goregaon, Mumbai in the month of

> The flowers were identified instantly by a botany student.

> When I searched my old pics which were not sorted very systematically at

>> Dear Dinesh ji
>> I don't think there is anything peculiar.
>> 1. The flowers in your photograph and that by Shubhada are similar. The

>> 2. Sterculia foetida in Delhi produces new leaves in late March or early
