Hi Shrikant,
I realise my pics are not always adequate and far from ideal. I was a mere tourist seeing Sikkim for the very 1st time. It was a fabulous, incredible 3 week trip, I loved every single minute. A am very keen gardener and plants person. An amateur. I am not and never will be a botanist. During this adventure I saw many many trees, shrubs and plants that I had never encountered before. I took many hundreds of pictures of the plants. ( As well as thousands of the stunning scenery, people, temples, animals etc etc?) I tried my best to get a few pics of each plant to give pointers to id. Sadly time did not allow for a 100% full pictorial record of every plant, to include,a scale for size, bark, buds, flowers, fruits, leaves,including whole specimen to show where it was growing. Nor is my memory accurate enough to say now exactly the dimension of the seed pod. I do remember at the time thinking it was large. I am trying my best to learn. I am delighted to get it id as Lagerstroemia. I guess I will never know whether it is L. speciosa OR L. microcarpa OR L. parviflora. But if ever I come back I will take more care taking the pictures of unknown plants. Thank you for taking the time to look at my pics and to help. Sheila. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- On Nov 9, 12:18 pm, shrikant ingalhalikar <le...@rediffmail.com> wrote: > 'Big seed pod' is quite relative.
