This Summer has been the hottest of last thirty years ,Temperature has touched 47 degree celsius which was a record in itself for the city .The dry days with long day hours that too with hot winds where temperature at daytime moves between 45 - 47 degree celsius makes it impossible scene for flora to survive and flourish ,but we can call it by God's Grace or blessings given by the Almighty of Nature,there were some plants who did beat the Heatwaves and bloomed to my surprise...
Sunflowers looking into face of the Sun ...
A closeup of the above Zinnia...
Some more Petunias which were kept in the shade are blooming too..Yipee!!

Ruellias the Drought resistant plants blooming with pretty pink charm..
Oleander again a Hardy perennial giving a vibrant pink environment along with

Sunflowers looking into face of the Sun ...
Portulacas giving some color to otherwise colorless dry garden...
Zinnias the Hardy summer Annuals blooming alonwith a surprise of petunias at the back in the same pot,as Zinnias were planted with forethought that Petunias would die back automatically leaving the space for Zinnias but they survived somehow the Summer Heat...WOW!!!
A surprise was sudden bloom of beautiful double coloured Miniature canation
whole year blooming Bougainvillea
We can always hope for the flowers blooming throughout the year in our region ...just by being patient since little patience will give Monsoon in a few days rejuvenating the plants again..
Have a bloomy week..

It's Nature's helping hand that makes us survive our flora in this scorching summer definitely..Thanks for visiting Tante ..Have a great week ..
DeleteI love the miniature carnation. Beautiful. I enjoy seeing gardens around the world. You are always welcome in my gardens.
ReplyDeleteOh I am glad you noticed my carnation...Thanks for visiting ...I'll surely visit your garden
Deletethanks for beautiful flowers. The sun flower is standing strong.
ReplyDeleteYeah Even I was amazed by it's heat tolerance..Thanks for visiting Ann...
DeleteOh your temperatures are really very high! I can relate to you because during our dry season when it hits 37C, we cannot anymore stay outside for a few minutes, thanks to the airconditioning uits. I can't imagine that many plants can still survive your hot temperatures. Maybe you are always watering them. Our soil crack during those times.
ReplyDeleteAmazing garden, I am very new to gardening and I wanted to know if you have suggestions about high heat and scorch tolerant plants like the ones shown for my balcony,temperatures here reach 44-47 and there is direct sun that scorches my balcony for 4-5 hours, I am afraid my plants will burn so I don't keep them there yet ....
