Dear Saroj ji, Thank you very much for providing ID link of my plant. Please note that the flowers are in globular shape, means without individual petals, and it is never opened naturally. I opened the flower myself with a razor to see inside. What ever may be, doesn't matches with the species suggested.
Kind regards, Sam.
