Bhagyashree There are two species of Calotropis observed commonly. Apart from the one shown here another with bigger flowers is called as *Calotropis gigantea*. I am sure you will come up with its pictures of both when you find it. Rather I will request you or any new member to post them if you find it. It is rather common in open areas. We have discussed this number of times earlier. You can find the details on our group website. Regards
