These look like typical cultivated D. alata . Twining direction I noted is anticlockwise in D. alata , clockwise in D. bulbifera . Leaf in D. bulbifera in monsoon becomes huge , nearly orbicular and showy , in summers size gets reduced drastically......... it would be interesting to record them in summers and compare with what we see in rains .
