Project Noah Nature School
Trichosanthes cucumerina
This attractive flower was seen at the side of the road leading to Pambadum Shola National Park above the town of Munnar.
Roadside at over 1800 m in an area with much tea being grown. I do not know the exact location so have given the location of the national park and this was not too far from there.

A very pretty photo....a very pretty, and a very interesting flower....
Did you photograph it Pam?
I rarely use Project Noah but will not be getting my photos onto Flickr for a year or so. I still have not even been through them all yet.
Welcome :)
Nice...
Thanks Arun. That seems to be it.
Might be 'snake gourd flower' ; Ref : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichosant...
