Then there was the lac tree. It is not the tree itself that generates the lac, but an insect that is attracted to the tree.
I loved the patch of jatropha duckfoot , it had butterflies flitting all over, just about as many as i saw in the butterfly garden in Bannerghatta.
Then there was the champa - plumeria/frangipani with its serene white flowers.
The lovely smelling lavender and the spectacular passionflower
This one i have not identified yet.

Your pictures make me want to visit the park again. Maybe I'll go sometime this month. Didn't know about the lac tree. Interesting!
The last pictures look like a Solanum (nightshade) of some kind. Just a guess from someone in Southern California.
I've been checking out blogs on gardening in India because my husband and I are going to be spending 6 months in India next winter (Dec - June). I will miss my own garden but can't wait to see some parks and gardens from such a different part of the world.
