Common in gardens in Kerala too. This has a funny name in Malayalam. I have heard people referring to it as 'Ottor Mohini' as well as 'Ottor Mulla'. I can't decipher what the first part stands for and had always wondered what it could mean!
'Mulla' means jasmine in Malayalam. 'Mohini' is the one who enchants.
