Dear Dungriyal ji, I have seen similar plants as a child at Mysore. The local people would call it spetica. The Hindu ladies wove lovely gardens of the flower after taking great pains to pick them in the morning. I have seen three different colours , one was white, the other was light blue and the third was light pink. I hope this gives a clue to someone who knows more about it. Regards Yazdy.
