Since Alison was not allowed to answer the Kathikali question, here’s one especially for her – but anyone else can have a go too. What is the name of the fruit from the tree which produces this flower?

Oh for goodness sake. I have no idea!! Decided just to fess up rather than spend ages googling around. Unless it’s that pink and green one whose name I can’t remember, or never knew!
It’s the cannon ball tree

Thought you might have seen it in Kerala.
Unless it’s the really smelly one whose name I also can’t remember!
The flowers are really smelly, apparently. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Couroupita_guianensis#Description
I don’t know much about trees. Also only in Kerala for less than a week. Anyway, good to know!
