I believe Bimal da had done a series this year to document the species of birds visiting the red Sheemul flowers… The two pictures I am sending in are from a tree whose branches come down to my eye level… near where we go for morning walks…. Family: Malvaceae Subfamily: Bombacoideae Genus: Bombax L. Species : Bombax ceiba Colloquial names : red sheemul, shimul, shalmali etc Enjoy USha di
