Nicely done, Chaitanya. I especially like the last one.
Thank you, I was restricted by rain and foggy weather that day. Now I have to wait till next monsoons to find Ceropegia again. Will be checking few spots in Western ghats for Orchids that bloom in winters and summers also few flowering hotspots from Himalayas are on agenda for 2019.

+1 but I have to admit I'm 50/50 between first and the last one. I have never seen something like these!
Merry Christmas everyone!
There are about 35-36 species of Ceropegia that grow in western ghats, and these plants are highly seasonal in terms of flowering and highly endemic to certain localities. They have a funny way of pollinating flowers and nearly trapping the pollinators until the job of pollination is done.
