Yes, A. Indica... The ganges primrose... its flourishing in meadows, along road sides, in grassy areas where grass/lawn in not mowed regularly, Right now its very prolific in the SHuibpur botanical Garden... since March I have sighted and photographed...yellow, this white and magenta stripes, white with diffuse magenta petals (as if the color was air sprayed on in parts!!!) and and a pinkish variety... slowly am getting organized, will put up the pictures...
PS: I AM A STRONG PROPONENT OF NOT MOWING THE LAWN TOO OFTEN, JUST TO LET THE LOCAL FLORA FLOURISH AND GET A TOE HOLD... DO YOU FEEL THAT WAY? Usha di ====== On Sun, Jun 26, 2011 at 1:29 PM, J.M.
