Hi Balkar ji , Firstly note the typo in the spelling Homalocladium platycladum in the post by Sir Ji. Lastly I support the Sir Ji comment of Muehlenbeckia platyclada (F. Muell.)

Dear Gurcharan ji I didn't understand your comments :When I first saw I thought it to be some species of Iris, till I identified it correctly as Dietes iridioides. Do you mean to say that the genus is different than Iris? I always thought that the members of Iridaceae family are called as Iris as common plant name. The above plant does belong to Family :Iridaceae as per Wikipedia and GRIN. Would like to learn something from you.

Re: [efloraofindia:74401] Bonsai plants
Dear Srivastavji This is what I meant the pleasure given to the creater or owner. I can immagine the joy when the bonsai started fruiting, I can feel the joy of your family when everyday you see those fruits, water the plant etc. By any chance if the plant was allowed to grow in natural condition in mumbai suberb it would have ' gone with the wnd/ road/ building. Can send some photos to view your joy. Thanks. Let me put one point straight. Bonsai is not an alternative to natural condition. It is a parellel system. Otherwise I can't immagine a ficus growing on 18th floor nor watermelons comming in balcony of Maniji.
