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
I could follow everything but how to decide post number. Is it my post number
or eflora?
Eg in your this mail it is efloraofindia 74395 . Does this get gemerated
atomatically.
Sorry didn't observe before. Now have time at hand, so learning something new.
I wanted to tell Gargji too that I learn

I had this miniature orange plant bought from a vendor from Darjeeling. The

Iris and Dietes are two different genera. In Iris the perianth are joined
into a tube whereas they are free in Dietes and genus Morrea, in which,
however rhizome is absent. All three belong to Iridaceae.

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.)
Meisn.
being the synonym of Homalocladium platycladum, which is true according to
