Dear Shrikant ji, Thanks for your response. Flower size is bit small and i took this snap using Super macro feature available in my Camera. To re- confirm the no. of stamens, i did dissection and noticed that no. of stamens are four. Two are cleary visible in photo where as other 2 were just behind them. Waiting for yr comments on this..
