Dear Gucharan Ji and All members, I am Happy because what ever the taxonomic discussions had been made all were fruitful and also were positive in deciphering the correct identity of the plant.
*10 REASONS WHY I AM HAPPY?? !!!* 1. We are achieving our motto and goal of this group steadily and successfully. 2. Many members are making lovely contributions who were silent for a long time. 3. Our success is directly dependent on each of the member. 4. Senior colleagues are very supportive and informative. 5. Introduction of more number of learned colleagues in the group with positive intention and activities. 6. Our success rate as a group is nearly 100%. 7. We act as a group and not as an individual, which is the best part. 8. The Level of respect and morality among the members for each other regardless of the age is to be specially noted. 9. Not only identification of plant but also sharing of information, e-books etc among members make it really nice and different from other group. 10. Association and linking up between "E-FLORA OF INDIA" and "FLOWERS OF INDIA".
