Springing into summer

 It's that time of year when spring is ending and summer season has arrived . It has been unusual spring due to the on going weather disturbances and concurrent rains  which has lead to unusual wet spring. 

It is the time to bid adieu Spring blossoms and welcome summer in the garden 


                                     Petunias and pansies are giving last of their booms with rise in temperatures  

                                                                       




I am surprised by consistent blooming of Geraniums and Blanket flower for the most part of spring 







Cornflowers 





I had added some of the new varieties of Kalanchoe this spring in my garden 



                                                               Kalanchoes blossfeldiana blooming




                                 Bougainvilleas are back in blooms  as Summer season is back 



                        Adenium is blooming finally  after rise in temperatures 

                                                             



                              Spider lilies are blooming with summer arrival , summer and rains are best season for lily blooms           


                                                            spi

                        

             I spotted this butterfly with unusual blue color , Anyone knows the ID                                                          


              In my recent visit to Bird sanctuary I spotted this beautiful Indian painted stork 


                                                                 

                                                          

                                                              Indian painted stork feeding on fish        




Finally an ode to mountains

  1. I've been having trouble posting comments on your blog and it took several tries today - but here I am. As always, I enjoy your blooms-our nurseries aren't even selling petunias and other (for us) summer flowers. Greetings from the Northeast United States. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

  4. We usually get an early start to summer, although not as early as you do, but we're unusually cool - and wet - this year. Your blanket flower always astounds me. I love the stork photos too.

  10. Wow so colorful and beautiful photos. No flowers here yet because I don't have perennials, so was nice to see yours. I like pansy's but I usually never have any because they don't last long to buy them as annuals.
