detect circles from the image using Hough Circle transform

I am trying to detect circles from the following image using Hough Circles function of OpenCV

enter image description here

My code (OpenCV with Python) 

myImage = cv2.imread("C:\\sample.jpg") 
img = cv2.resize(myImage,(640,480))        
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

circles = cv2.HoughCircles(gray,cv2.cv.CV_HOUGH_GRADIENT,1,10, param1=50,param2=35,minRadius=0,maxRadius=0)
circles = np.uint16(np.around(circles))
for i in circles[0,:]:
    # draw the outer circle
    cv2.circle(myImage,(i[0],i[1]),i[2],(0,255,0),2)
    # draw the center of the circle
    cv2.circle(myImage,(i[0],i[1]),2,(0,0,255),3)
cv2.imshow('detected circles',myImage)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

But due to some reason, I am not able to get the correct outputs. I am getting the following output

enter image description here

UPDATE

Thanks it's working now. By setting the param2 high I am able to detect 2 circles. I was displaying them wrongly and now everything is fine

You are showing the original image cv2.imshow('detected circles',myImage) but the circles are computed over the gray reescales image. Change

cv2.imshow('detected circles',myImage)

for 

cv2.imshow('detected circles',img)

and you are done.

Well, one thing is that max radius is set at 0...

i.e. your range is 0 < radius < 0.

Unless I'm mistaken (?) that's a wee bit restrictive yeah?

You seem to have given the coordinates wrong.

    # draw the outer circle
    cv2.circle(myImage,(i[1],i[0]),i[2],(0,255,0),2)
    # draw the center of the circle
    cv2.circle(myImage,(i[1],i[0]),2,(0,0,255),3)

Change that to 

    # draw the outer circle
    cv2.circle(myImage,(i[0],i[1]),i[2],(0,255,0),2)
    # draw the center of the circle
    cv2.circle(myImage,(i[0],i[1]),2,(0,0,255),3)
