Dear friend,
ReplyDeleteOn 10 February 2012, we had agreed to team up as a group to monitor climate change driven alterations in plant phenological responses. The typical case of flowering in Cassia fistula was identified.
All you will need to do for the present is to make a note of daily weather parameters (as much available) for your region and keep eyes open to identify the date of flowering of Cassia fistula in 2013. You may ask your students to help you in this. Kindly note that your observations need be entered at http://envinfoiiitmk.blogspot.in/
Please be informed that you have author permission to contribute to it.
Thank you.

Today seems to be a bright sunny day. was really surprised to see a Cassia fistula is now in its flowering time though this is December, a tree near Pangappara Gurumandiram.
