No Jabeen, these flowers are called Madhumalti or Rangoon creeper, but these are really beautiful and have a lovely fragrance. In my city, people plant this vine very commonly for the lovely flowers which have varying shades from pink-white to deep red. Parijat flowers are what Shampa has posted earlier. Also called Harsingar in Hindi and Prajakta in Marathi.
In Imphal, we refer to this creeper as Parijat. Its used as offering to God. The other flower which most of you called Parijaat is called Singarei in Manipuri.

It has such a lovely bright colours. Though the name is similar the flowers look quite different. Does it also produce fruit like the purple variety?

Thanks for posting it. It sure is motivation image in more than one ways.
It is truly motivating to see how beautiful and pretty a town or city can look like if the citizens have the will to do so!
For we Indian city like it is a dream.
That's not true, you have got to visit place like Sikkim or other South India and NE states of India and see the beauty and cleanliness. I was once very close to Mawlynnong (I hope I have spelled it correctly) village near Shillong which is considered the cleanest village of India. I have seen number of such clean places in South India, NE, and in bordering states of India.
I never visit NE so I don't know about this area. In my student life once I visited South but I never seen beautiful city like city in this image,Chandigarh is a neat and beautiful city, but not like it. Most of Indian cites are not clean and beautiful. I think our population is problem.

Not that I know of Jabeen! The one that produces passionfruits, flowers have white petals with purple flush at the base with purple filaments/
Beautiful pictures from everyone ...
I took these pictures when we visited Kudremukh mountains last year. Since it is just 60 kms from here we go there often ..It is one of my favorite places because it is not all that crowded and we keep discovering new trails and paces within the mountain range

Breathtakingly beautiful locations Usha! Are these mountains a part of Western ghats?? that is Sahyadri ranges? Because they are very similar to what we have around Pune and Mumbai.
This is a picture of a valley I took from Warandha Ghat, at the far bottom you can see red roofs of village houses. A little ahead from this spot, we experienced reverse rainfall, meaning the clouds covering the valley were sending water drops up towards the sky due to force of the winds. It was an amazing experience.

Reverse rainfall? Never heard or experience it. But I came across a video showing water running upstream in some particular place. Nature is full of beautiful but strange experience.

Yes anil, the western ghats are beautiful with rivers , waterfalls and wild life it makes you forget everything..
Kalyani Nandurkar wrote:jabeen wrote:Another flower growing in our house. We call it Siris Kusum but I don't know its English name. Can anyone help me identify it?
I think it is Albizia saman, surprisingly we also call it Shirish in Marathi.
I guess that is a common name for this flower because it is called shirish even in Kannada , there are different shades of it deep pink and a very light shade of pink

Beautiful picture Kalyani ...I too have seen this reverse flow if water up in the mountains when there is an imbalance in temperatures.
Kudremukh is in the Sahyadri range and there are many beautiful small towns like theerthahalli, Shimoga, Agumbe and Chikmaglur located in and around. Most of them have coffee plantations and are very scenic . Of late they are filled with tourists during peak seasons and the locals though get revenue feel that if it continues can have a negative impact

Once in my student life I visited to South but it was limited upto big cities like Hyderabad, Chennai, Mysore and Mumbai. So I could not watch these locations. I am living in North Rajasthan and it is dry area. South Rajasthan have some beautiful locations.
Parramatta Ferry Station - Sydney, Australia. Ferry is one of the greatest ways to have a Funday on Sundays for only $2.5 for the entire day (any number of trips by any public transport in city and suburbs). I once traveled to almost 20 destinations by bus, train and ferry on a Sunday for only $2.5 which would cost $128 on other than Sundays.
I have posted this photo here also but in bigger size as Boddunan doesn't allow to post in that size.

Very economical!
Wonderful chance for the people there I guess. A great initiative to attract tourists
