Very beautiful pics. Its strange that no one has done any pollination studies on this species. Its a good species to work on. Large flowers and easy to observe. Hint is, one needs to make observations both in sunlight and in dark!! Pankaj On Mon, 6 Jun 2022 at 09:00, J.M. Garg <[email protected]> wrote: > > > -- > With regards, > J. M.
