Cultivated southeast African Asclepiad outside house in northern Thai village. I'm resisting the urge to invent a common name for this one!

You are right Leuba. These are very common in India. Kids usually hold them between to hands and pop them.
I am sure I've seen these in India as well. Haven't noticed the flowers though- quite pretty.. Wonder what you'd want to call it CraigW ??? :)
