Clarkia unguiculata or better known as Clarkia  planted in mass wafts fragrance in the air .


                                                 





A single flower on the stalk has its own unique beauty ...                                                                        



Snowfall in my city is impossible since temperature does not fall by, but glimpse of  snow could be created by growing Snow carpet better known as Alyssum .
