Thanks Dr.Balkar & Dr.Vijayasankar, The few pedicels which appear to have lost their flowers, had actually flowered, been pollinated, dropped off in the morning and were lying on the ground, but inadvertently forgot to photograph them. Regards, Neil Soares.

Looks like the bats have done their job even before the flowers open fully..! Or is it b'cos some other visitor found a short-cut route to rob the nectar?!! Its nice to see the rising of new fruits.
