A reply from another thread ( https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/ddfb1fb455df0133?hl=en#) : "Madhuri ji, you need not be a botanist to fill up the format beyond headings. There are no type/attachment/size/surface of leaves or colour and size of flowers, yet I would say this is *Talinum of Portulacaceae*. Interesting thing about this plant is that the flowers open only at 2 pm and wither by 4 pm. You can call these as 'siesta flowers'. Regards, Shrikant"
