Water Lilies in full bloom

I have  never tried much aquatic plants instead of a pistia or Water lettuce that has the foliage beauty with  almost no blooms .This year I have tried some Water lilies and I must say the results are amazing .After trying I realised the aquatic blooms are most awestruck blooms I have come across ...


                                                     






A lot of things are happening in garden which I 'll scribe upon somewhere later in a post .

Hearty Harvest

It's been raining from last two days the weather is pleasant now.I had been trying growing veggies from some time but the summer heat does'nt make me do so.
Now the Summer has gone we are almost end to our monsoon season too.And Garden is bearing some harvest this season ...

  Okra or Lady Finger  plants had been giving harvest from last four months continuously ... 
                                                        
                                                                 



First time tried is the Cowpea beans we love it even the ripened seeds are cooked in form of lentil 


It grows in vine form and gives plenty of harvest                                                                       


And some chilli to add flavour in food                                                                                            


My old fellow double colored brinjal to give company to other veggies                                            

                                     



Have a great week ...Linked to  Abc Wednesday

Favorite Fragrance is Back

They are back almost after a year and half ..I guess the stagnant hot weather make them do so .
I am  always been a great admirer of Lilies, but My heart goes gaga when I see Spider lily blooming and there Fragrant makes me Feel  to be  in the seventh Heaven .
Spider lilies are some of those hardy bulbous plants that require minimal care and most importantly long restive hot period to come into blooming stage .

                                                     



Where there spidery blooms looks Fantastic there bud instantly grabs attention..                                       



They are popular in our region for offering to God specially Lord Shiva ,recently the sacred Hindu month of  Saavan  has passed where we worship Lord shiva and it's said he is happy by the offering of these lilies .
