Thanks Usha di. It is not only this particular tree, but all the others that I have photographed at Jijamata Udyan or elsewhere, I know their exact locations. If you recollect during our family visit to Kashmir, on way to Sonamarg, I saw this tiny bunch of Bluebells growing in the rocks.Couldn't stop then, but on our way back I could locate them as I had kept the location in mind & take a few pictures. All my ids are based on my sense of sight & memory....things like bark, leaf pattern & other things go way above my head....really not good at them. Breadcrumbs will be eaten, then how do we find our way back? Regards, Aarti
