Dear Prashant, The flowers certainly look similar though less dense than in your photos. I had responded to your email as under. It seems more certain now that I am mistaken about the flowers belonging to the tree in my photo, rather than a separate creeper. A final confirmation would be very welcome - and of course it would be great if Sibdas is able to visit Tia Bon to confirm. Cheers, Sushmita
"I looked at Thunbergia coccinea - it is described as a woody climber, but mine was a tree/shrub - unless for lack of climbing space, the stems got concentrated to a thick bark. Is that possible? The flowers of Thungergia bauhinia look similar to my photo - both in colour and structure. Would welcome any other ideas/suggestions. Thanks.
