Summer colors

 Summer has finally arrived with temperature  soaring 40 degree Celsius. While we had an unpredictable start to  summer with some downpour after the advent of western disturbance . 

It has helped to give   pleasant start to summer weather and blossoms 

Adeniums are perennial plants that blooms mostly in summer with the appearance which is similar to trunk of an old tree there blooms are magnificent

                                                           


 

Bougainvillea grows well in warm climate and give blooms when the weather is hot


                                                       



                                                              Cosmos bipinnatus 


                                                                         


                                                             

Lantana blooms 


                                                                      


              I am surprised by the performance of Lemonia plant which had been blooming from last six months 


                                                                 


It has always been a pleasure to see plumeria blooming after winter dormancy 

                                                                         


                                               

And summer can't be imagined without the presence of Zinnia in summer garden 

                                                  


It is unusual summer this year as temperature which usually touch 45 degree Celsius by the may has not crossed 40 degree till now which has actually lead to more blooms. 

There is lot more which has been blooming other than aforementioned like Peacock flower, jasmine varieties,  spider lily, kalanchoe and marigold. 

   An  Ostrich spotted in my recent visit to sanctuary
