Hello world
Since I am adding pictures every other day to my online album to be identified. I think It might be more convenient if i were to update and modify this post . Here is the growing collection of plants and flora to be identified. https://picasaweb.google.com/1109405396 ... mePictures#
Thank you all

Thanks in advance, I feel I am in good company here.

Welcome to the world of plants! Have you seen the website: Flowers of India? It will be a useful tool for you.

Some of your pictures look familiar to me:

Pic# 1 of 18. Calotropis (a medicinal plant called aakh in Urdu)
Pic# 6 of 18. Agaves species
Pic# 7 of 18: Melia azadarcht sp (looks like bukaiyn)
Pic# 9 of 18: Spider lily (giant) Crinum species
Pic# 10 of 18: Thevetia peruviana- peela kanair
Pic# 12 of 18: Clitoria
Pic# 13 of 18: This is an Aloe (not sure if it is Aloe vera)
Pic# 15 of 18: No flowers? Loks like the "Cockscomb" plant
Pic# 18 of 18: The one and only poor Sada bahaar (periwinkle)--You should have recognized it yourself!
