Are you making this up?

Another one of Natures wonders and pleasures Ken, this tree is amazing!

Maybe a description of 'delicate thunder' is appropriate here

Many thanks for sharing this remarkable specimen, awesome!

Lovely set Ken. In India, to the South, from where I am, these are used in prayer. If you were to 'lift' the petal hood you will see the pod inside; which resembles our Lord Shiva adorned with a king serpent. It is commonly called 'Lingada hoovu' in our dialect

Thanks for sharing!

Yeah- sequence in a series can be very subjective, although most of the time people pay no attention to the sequence (neither posters nor viewers).
Your approach seems related to a film maker starting in tight and zooming out.
My suggestion is more of the film maker starting with an establishing shot and then zooming in tight.
Your way is right, of course. Because it's your post .

Thanks for letting me have my way Charlie!

Fascinating flowers Ken. In that last shot, it almost looks like a vine that wrapped itself around a tree, but the fruit balls sprouting from the branches give it a way! Thanks for sharing these!

Thank you very much Greg. Your comments are always welcome and appreciated.

Thank you for adding your personal experience Shreeni. I know some people from Karela. I'll have to ask them about the tree. ಧನ್ಯವಾದ

Good question Ron. From what I understand, once they split open after falling, the smell is not overly appealing. But they are edible apparently. Thanks for dropping in.
