Cold waves grip the city

 The winter  weather which started post December this year brought days of fog , chilling winds and drop in temperatures to  single syllable  in the first two weeks of January. While winter is not harsh this year comparatively the persistent cold wave had  brought chills to the core in body. 

Now as we are at  the end of first fortnight of the year Garden is seeing some growth with blooms mostly on perennials or annuals that were blooming from December . The spring annuals had been stagnated from December . 



                              Marigolds have well adapted winter   in my region                              


                                                                      

                        Bauhinia blooms are at their prime in January



                                        The chrysanthemums blooms will start wilting   in upcoming weeks 




The cranberry Hibiscus loves winter as it outshines all Hibiscus varieties in January


The Common Hibiscus is unfurling gradually after cold waves had surpassed 



During my a day trip on the outskirts of city one of this Common Stilt was spotted perching upon water lands.

  2. Despite your cold spell, your garden is displaying some nice color, Arun. I love the Chrysanthemums, which I have a hard time growing in my climate.

  3. Thank you for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2026/01/totally-tommy.html. As an American, I am deeply ashamed of Donald Trump. We have a tiger by the tale... a tiger with rabies, it would seem.

  4. Oh, love seeing the growing flowers as we are in sort of a deep freeze here in Ohio now. Love the colors, so pretty. The Bauhinia, I've never heard of but love the purple color, and the hibiscus, always red is so brilliant. Thanks for visiting me at Pictorial Tuesday. Have a great weekend.

  5. That cranberry hibiscus is so pretty! We don't have any flowers of any kind this time of year.
