I too agree with Garg ji. I remember the first time he had sent his link of the trees he had photographed. We had enjoyed it a lot and so many members had written to Raman ji. >From those days, his pictures have come a long way. Raman ji will always be associated in our minds....with that Australian Flame Tree, Brachychiton acerifolium. I am sure all our members visiting Bangalore will be eager to see that particular tree. I too was eager to find it during recent visit. Raman ji, can you give the location once again please? Will be taking your help in identifying a few trees from Lalbagh. Regards, Aarti
