Thank you, Vidyadhar ji... MAY I ASK YOU TO COMMENT PLEASE ON MY PICTURE NUMBER 1 and 4 ... if you click on them a larger copy will show you what I am asking about....
please tell me if your tree has this peculiar way the flowers arise as if out of the spine/vertebral column of a person lying face down .. and the drooping leaves are the persons ribs and arms... its the only analogy I can think of... and I dont see it described the way I see it ... that's my problem.. with this diagnosis... also the flowers not exactly pink... they are peachy-orangish- pink with reddish mixed in ... what does that make ???
