Garden Affair : Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

 The Year 2025 is ending , the year which will be remembered for  an unusual weather system which is  ending on a note of  warm winter . This year makes me realize and become thoughtful about the impact and forewarning of  Global warming which is now becoming a reality, still going through the  current scenario the weather patterns still gives us chance as ' forewarned is forearmed' . 

It has become a ritual for my Thank giving cactus to bloom near Christmas every year  from the  last decade . 

                                              

The only silver lining of warm December is plumerias  especially Plumeria pudica is blooming in the last week of December  which is unexpected for this time of year.

Flowering succulents of my Garden

             Monsoon has shown a slow start in my region and if forecast is to be believed it will be only  revived till fortnight of this month. Succulents are one of the most attractive plants in the plant kingdom. While Succulents are known for their attractive plant structure here are some of the succulents that bears stunning blossoms   in my Garden.                                                      

                                                                    Huernia Zebrina

And a group of pigeons quenching their thirst 

                                                               

And the cloudy sky  observed from the window 

                                                                 

Cold and Dark days

 This year began on a chilling note as it rained continuously which led to dark and foggy days for a week and when now the weather is clearing up some of the blooms are showing up

            And a Sunrise after days of Dark gloomy sky
