Allamanda vine propagation and care

 This lovely vine with huge blooms is one of my all time favorites since it adapts in our hot environment easily and gives continuous blooms throughout the year leaving only  the most cold months of the year.

Although Allamanda blooms has no fragrance at all but its magical bountiful blooms can attract  anyone who is passing nearby the vine to stop for a moment and adore the beauty of blooms .It has mainly three colors Pink,Red and yellow .

                                                                                     

                                                                  

It is quite hardy vine an can survive in extreme hot conditions too .It increases blooms when fed with organic manure once in a while preferably during spring time.                                                           

It can be easily propagated by taking a cutting from the vine and planting it in rainy season or spring season thereby whatever season is upcoming in the year.                                                                                    

Meanwhile a peacock was spotted on the roof  in neighbourhood

                                      

In my region people believe spotting peacock in monsoon is a good omen for rains.

From past few days weather has been breezy and foggy with a spell of rain in day and night.Monsoon in our city particularly has been persistent even with few rains and according to weather department it will be for few days more.It is boon for plants since there is enough humidity in atmosphere favorable for plants growth.

Some of the perennials are leaving there dormancy after summer to bring themself to bloom .
