Garg ji,
Thanks for this unexpected flattering introduction. Gurcharan ji,
thanks for your appreciation.
However, please remember that although I created the site, and am
maintaining it, the fast addition of new flowers is a community
effort, and invloves the hard work of many flower-hunters, Dinesh
Valke and Prashant Awale being the most active ones. The site owes the
wealth of Indian languages names and their rendering in native
scripts, mostly to Dinesh Valke. People who identify the flowers for
FOI are numerous. Many of them you can find on Indiantreepix too. Love
of nature, and willingness to share, brings us together. And it is
really great that Indiantreepix gives us a platform to have vibrant
discussions on flora. Many of the identifications of Indiantreepix,
land up at FOI.
Let us continue to enjoy the richness of nature.
Best wishes
- Tabish
