Countdown to Winter

 The days are getting colder with every passing day as temperature at day time  has dropped to mid of 70s Fahrenheit which is quite cold for this time of year in our region. The reason could be due to unexpected hailstorm in my city  that happened in last week and fresh snowfall going on  in the hilly areas. While my winter garden preparation is going with full swing here are some blooms and developments that were observed after a walk in to the garden.

Spider lilies are in full bloom with a heady scent after their leaves were thinned and pruned after attack of worms.

                                                    



It was a surprise to spot Rain Lily blooming at this time of year

                                                                      


           

The last show of Hibiscus blooms until freezing winter sets in the garden


                                                                




A    fresh harvest of Raw mangoes 


                                                         





Meanwhile a Rufous treepie was spotted in the garden








And a wonderful morning sky with Clouds,sun and birds ( can you spot the sun )

  7. I like all your flowers and your bird too. With that name he must be a noisy visitor to the garden.

  10. Dear Arun,
    70 degrees Fahrenheit, that's for us like a not so hot summer-day ;-)
    At the moment we have in the morning about 0 degrees Celsius - that is 32 degrees Fahrenheit...
    Wonderful blooms and a pretty bird!
    Best wishes, Traude
