Yes wonderful photographs.... I love Hoiyas, as houseplants they are so docile and not demanding... they just sit there ans periodically reward you with these long- lasting waxy, sometimes fragrant flowers... thank you for showing this variety...
BUT you have me thoroughly confused... my memory of Indian geography seems all muddled... I do not remember a very high mountain peak as high as 5000 m above msl (see above "(Place of collection: Mahendragiri hills, Gajapati, South Orissa Altitude: 5000 m above msl ) in the Gangetic plains or south of it... 5000 m above sea level would be almost as high as Mont Blanc ... may be even a bit higher... 5000 m above msl would be about 16,404. feet or 3.01 miles!!!! would a tropical vine survive and what of the poor trees that host these hoyas? thanks usha di ============== On Nov 2, 6:55 pm, Dr Pankaj Kumar <[email protected]> wrote: > Beautiful pics Prasad.... > Best wishes. > Pankaj > > On Nov 2, 9:21 pm, prasad dash <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > > > > Thanks a lot Swami ji and Gurucharan sir.
