In Lonicera japonica, Japanese Honeysuckle, as seen in pic in link below, 4 petals ( or maybe one large one ) are pointing upwards and a single, thin one pointing downwards. Also the colour seems white, only dried ones get a creamish gold colour. See Link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonicera_japonica. I also feel the Champa is more commonly seen here in India. Did the flower in pic IMG_0040.JPG have a strong fragnance Thiru ? That could be the deciding factor. ________________________________ From: Dinesh Valke <dinesh.va...@gmail.com> To: J.M.
