Sandhya-Malati flower
Sandhya-Malati is nice smelling flower. Sandhya means evening in Bengali. Because the flower fully blooms only in the evening filling the air with nice, sweet fragrance, it is called "Sandhya-Malati". The following photos of this wonderful flower were taken by the author at Swadesh Singha's residence at Baidyardighi, Bishalgarh on 5 April, 2011.
