Pune has a lot to offer to birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts. All the more reason to conserve the wilderness, indigenous trees and plants still standing. This blogspot was begun with the idea of recording only the natural environment of Pune, but now the issues that threaten this environment also find a place here

Roxburgh's Bauhinia
Bauhinia roxburghiana: At Agharkar Institute
Delicate and small off-white flower splashed with magenta purple. Found this by chance on one of my exploratory trips. Aptly known as Shweta kanchan in Marathi, this species of Bauhinia is very different from the usual large flowers that range from gaudy pink to a light lavender.
