Re: [efloraindia:101116] How was 2011 for efi ?
Dear all, Taxonomists are generally hard to come together and interact. But we are here as a united group, no, as a family. Interacting frankly, correcting each others without touching the softer side of others. If somethings unknowingly hurt others that come up and we discuss and forget or neutralize those things. Even in smooth running homes there are problems and who ever handle those without pressure and smoothly will run home peacefully. The best things I observed here is that there is no hardcore taxonomy (but at the end of the day we are serious about reaching the correct id) but all of us are plant lovers who want to know plants with its respective identity. Not only identity, but also the facts, importance and stories behind plants also come up. This is really great. If there is a mistake happens (even from experts) that get corrected by someone or others within no short period of time whoever who notice the same. let us expand the umbrella where we gather together and experience the wonderful world of plants all around India. As Gurcharan ji pointed out, the quality and details of photographs are also very nice. We could learn many tips for taking good photographs by experts in the group. A special mention of Pankaj for this case. Even with mobile camera people are taking quality pictures. I too experienced that the increased number of participation and learning since I joined the group. This was high during 2011, I think, compare to other years (based on statistics available in home page). I was away from plant identification since 2006 and this again had given me a wonderful platform to learn more plants and keep my plant identification skills alive with great interest.

Dear Members Year 2011 has been truly special for both quality and quantity of interactions during the year. The number of posts have nearly doubled during the year. We also saw our new members contributing greatly to our database. There has been upload of quality photographs from both our new members and our veterans. The Family weeks have seen renewed interest and education with our veteran members sharing their huge collection of photographs. The group has really benefitted during the year. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.

Re: [efloraindia:101109] How was 2011 for efi ?
Dear All, I was unfortunate in joining late, I had joined in November 2010 only, therefore I have no scale to compare the performance of the year. Yet one thing is clear in my mind that majority of members are contributing quality materials, and this forum is encouraging lot more enthusiastic workers to come and contribute their bit. The cause is noble and beyond valuation, this group should continue to rise new levels every passing day. This is truly a great knowledge sharing portal and I have personally benefited a lot from the interactions. This is beyond doubt that the quality as well as number of the posts in the coming days will be unprecedented. Let's hope this group rises to highest peaks in the coming year. I wish a good health and great time to the greatest contributors, who are pillars of the group.

[efloraindia:101118] Flower-pecker and Loranthaceae Association 29122011 SI
Dear All and Giby ji with a special request. It is known that Flower-peckers Dicaeum sp. pollinate flowers of Loranthaceae. However I have never seen them 'pecking'nbsp;at flowers as such. It is saidnbsp;that red tips of corolla lobes of unopened flowers appear to them as berries which lures them to 'peck' at the tip and which causes flowers to 'explode' thus smearing the pollen on their forehead. I am also unaware of any Loranthaceae flowers with a red tip mimicking as a berry. I would welcome members to post photographs or observations in this respect.

[efloraindia:101142] Re: Trias stocksii flowering
Thanks Gibs for putting up your points. The main issue here is, Hooker didnt talk anything about the colour of the flowers in his original description. So such issue may arise. At the same time, thinking of occurrence of another new species in India is not overruled. Usha mam, yes orchids are generalists as well as specialists in choosing their host trees. But this aspect is understudied in India. I wish if someone could have worked on such topic and come out with some great results.

They both deserve it very well. Thanks would be a very small word to express my gratefulness to them. We have really come a long way out positively and prepared a huge database which in my knowledge is bigger than any online database of plants in India. Few months back Garg sir proposed a name for Gurucharan Sir, Bheesmapitamah of Efi. Today along with Giby I propose a name, Gyaneshwar of Efi for Garg sir.

Introduced implemented successfully new concepts like Family of the Week, Best photographs of the month etc. 3. Took over successfully implemented efi man/ woman of the month. 4. Possibly helped in identification of maximum number of posts. 5. He also organised a few trips (Morni hill Chakrata) successfully helped in identification posting of these collections. 6. Started adding easy descriptions common names to his posts, which resulted in efi website having descriptions common names for these species. 7.

[efloraindia:101189] Re: Efi man/ woman of the year 2011- give your choice
Based on suggestions which have come till now, I propose that for the present year (2011) when this title is being introduced, I will feel uncomfortable if we don't acknowledge and honour Garg ji's contribution. I think the suggestion given by Pankaj ji can be working solution for this year. From next year onwards we nominate eFl Man/Woman of the Year in the same way as we do every month: Person with maximum mails during the year. We will easily have record of this to decide. Let us have the same rule, once nominated not for next five years. This will have two advantages: Myself and Garg ji and some other leaders won't have pressure to reduce their participation to allow others to get nominated, and it will motivate other members for larger participation. We can again if all like have one nomination among Moderators and one among other members like we do for months. Before this mail came I was to write to few prominent members of the group how to proceed about other nominations: 1. *For Hero of the Week*, I think the person who gets maximum nominations during the year is automatic choice: We have Mr. Dinesh Valke as uncontested winner in this category with already three nominations in four months. This category I think is very important as we are nominating a person on the basis of number of uploads of photographs, not not just the number of mails. 2. I am not sure how to proceed about *best* *photographs of the year *and*best set of photographs of the year, * because it will be too much to ask members to choose from all photographs uploaded during the year, although some of us may know who deserve it.

Flowers may be sinking for one very simple reason :) RISE IN THE WATER LEVEL OF THE RESERVOIR OR CONTAINER!! As it is evident from the pics that leaves and flowers are healthy and even the leaves are sinking. Usually in both water Lilly and Lotus floral stalk length depends on the depth of the pond/reservoir, I assume.

The main issue here is, Hooker didnt talk anything about the colour of the flowers in his original description. So such issue may arise. At the same time, thinking of occurrence of another new species in India is not overruled. Usha mam, yes orchids are generalists as well as specialists in choosing their host trees.
