Some of the flowers that I photographed during the Mysore trip; I have no clue about the id’s (I never ever seem to see the same plant twice!!)…so here goes:

They may have no name as far as I am concerned, but they are still so beautiful:

I thought of who would know which to smell, which to brew into tea, and which to avoid! I wonder if this is related to the DEADLY NIGHTSHADE (Potato Plant) which has similar, but much larger, flowers: Ah, one I know. This is the WILD JASMINE and gives off a heavenly, heady scent: Apart from the damselflies and dragonflies I posted about earlier, I found this CRICKET,too: I wondered if these TERMITE NESTS were now home to snakes: On the way back, at Bidadi, I caught sight of some trees with hundreds of fruit bats hanging from them, and we all got off to take pictures: Here's a snap that explains why they are called "flying foxes": </lj-cut> Here are two fruit bats, bickering amongst themselves: Ah, that's the Mysore trip done...if it takes me a week to document a two-day trip, that's not very efficient!
