Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise please.
Some earlier relevant feedback:
I am having difficulty in choosing between B. grandiflora and B.
pauciflora. The defining character is calyx only 12 mm long and flowers
more than 5 in a cluster in B. grandiflora and flowers 1 or more and calyx
25-40 mm long in B. calycina. At least your second photograph (blue flower)
could belong to B. pauciflora.
Dr. Gurcharan Singh
Thank you very much Gurcharan ji for validating the ID.
If one of the flowers (the 2nd photo showing blue flower) seems to be *B.
pauciflora* - the 3rd and 4th also would be same - belonging to same plant
The blue colour fades to white as flower loses its glory.
Only the first one is from different plant, though the flower size I
remember was same as that of blue; perhaps a different cultivar of same
species.
Let me put a cropped version of last photo to show some hint of calyx; but
I do not remember its size. - from Dinesh ji.
