  2. I too have no idea what it is, but I found it in a small triangular garden space in the middle of the road, and had to click it.
    I hope an MDS reader can identify it.

  3. It really is different and almost reminds me of honeysuckle. But I don't suppose it is.

  4. Anu: No clue on this beauties name but love the leaves, they look like you polished them before snapping the picture.

  5. Fishing guy: I was waiting for the rains to stop. As soon as it stopped raining, I took the photo. The leaves are wet so they look polished :-)
    While taking the photo, I wasn't aware it was such a rare beauty.
