Thanks Shubhada for the beautiful pics. I have sent a pic in a separate mail of the same seen on Sangeeta's farm at Shahpur in Feb '09. I think we can safely conclude that in Mumbai and around most of the Cochlospermum religiosum trees flowering is from early Jan maybe even Dec and by Feb some have already started fruiting.

Here are a few January bloooms from Mumbai. One of the few yellow silk cotton trees flowering before time? at the south end of the national park in Mumbai. Pictures taken on 16 Jan.'10. I think early because in the book 'Trees of Mumbai' by Almeida & Chaturvedi mentions on pg 203: "The buds start appearing in small clusters at the beginning of February and March". Perhaps needs to be verifed with other trees too. regards, Rashida. http://windows.microsoft.com/shop Find the right PC for you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "efloraofindia" group.
