Oh yes Usha di,
now I remember when I was photographing this plant in California, a person
came out and asked me why I am taking photograph of this useless tree. I was
surprised to find an American speaking like that, because otherwise they are
so courteous that when they see a stranger on the road they would never miss
smiling or saying hello. Many a times they would stop and ask me about the
plants I was taking photographs of, and very happy when I would tell them
about my profession and love for photography. I have been wondering why that
person spoke like that. Now that you have told me I can connect.
And yes, Albizia julibrissin is generally grown in parks but not in or
outside the compounds of people. There lies the secret.
