Managed to find the name of the flower as usual from Flowers of India. I can still see the butterflies in the neighborhood. I have been promised by a gardener of a nursery that March is the month when I should come back to his patch and he would let me click the flowers and the butterflies.

Skywatch Friday- The Evening Sun
I liked the way sun was looking behind this tree. Clicked it on one of my bird rounds in the neighborhood. Realized the light was on the low side for bird photography though. For more beautiful skies of the world please visit the Skywatch Page.
