Thanks latAjI, you're kind.
What surpises me most is, if you look at the bootom left pattern, the spaces
between the petals look like the diamond patterns which we get in many of our
"lotus" rangOlis. It is like postive-negative. Regards! - mOhana

Manoranjitam, what a beautiful name!
Yes, manoranjitam brings back childhood memories. My cousin used to bring these
flowers from a garden. I still remember the colour, yellowish green. But I read
somewhere that it has six petals, not four. Could you check up? The smell of
manoranjitam is like a flood. It will drown you. You can never miss it!
