Default Can anybody tell what is this flower called ?

This flower i found in a botanical garden during my holidays. The flower looks so beautiful and the colour combination made me crazy. However i could not get the name of this flower. Does anybody know ?

i really suck at identifying flowers Milind but i have to agree that the color is awesome..the contrast of the red and yellow is just lovely..however, there are plenty of people here who i think are experts in flowers and will gladly provide the name of your flower..

Any chance you could load up some of the leaves/foliage from the plant? We have a spreading weed here that looks like that (either a white or a purple flower), or it could be off an Iris or something. Seeing the foliage would help a bit more.

Hi Shellie,

Unfortunately i could not take any other pic. Actually this flower was fallen on the ground while we were walking . But yes it was from some kind of climber.
