Thunbergia Coccinea - first flower of the season

The first flower open this season. They prefer a cooler climate in winter for optimal flowering. Cool weather is sorely lacking this year in Mumbai.

 

Found in the forests of North

East India, cultivated elsewhere.

 

Better pictures from 2008 when they flowered in profusion:
