Temperate December

 It was at the end of November month when the unprecedented chilly weather created a role for expectation of cold beginning of  December . It is the fortnight of December still the weather is warm which I guess  is in  consequence of  the climate change. 

Bauhinia Purpurea 

It is the season  for blooming period of  Purple Orchid Tree . They bloom in my region at the end of Autumn and blooms till the beginning of winter. 

                                                                              

                                                                   

Where the orchid like structure of flower is attracting , the mild fragrance of bauhinia is pleasing .
