Spring is knocking

 The beginning of February saw a rise in temperature with slight presence of Winter chills, the dormancy in plants is broken as we can observe the formation of buds promising early arrival of spring season this year. 

                                                         Roses are back on arrival of   Rose Day                     

Geranium buds are as beautiful as blossoms 

                                     An Adenium blooming in early spring is quite surprising       

                                               Buds appearing on common hibiscus 

                                                    Four  o'clock blooms  breaks from the dormancy     

The warming up of first week of February is alarming as it makes us realize that concept of Global warming is actual  reality while the only silver lining is we can observe early blooms of spring flowers.

Autumn season

 

October had  begun with a rounds of downpour that brought down the temperature and had made the weather  favorable for the onset of autumn which is actually identical to  spring that comes after monsoon  for our region . 

                                                                                

                           The summer blooms and the blooms that occur due to transition from Summer to winter  helps Garden moving on to brighter days.                                                 

                                                                  

Autumn is a process of rejuvenation of Garden after summers and monsoon has passed away, formation of buds on perennials is ubiquitous into the Garden.                                                                         

Autumn is in general a best time to spot blooms from summer annuals and perennials .

Signs of Spring ?

 The weather is becoming unpredictable every passing year ,it was just a week ago that cold waves and fog conditions was prevalent in the  whole city and there was no sign of warming up of weather and it is now in this week that temperatures are increasing every day which has helped the annuals and perennials to come up with blooms.

Although there are few weeks left for the outbreak of spring the sudden rise in temperatures has led to early formation of buds on plants

Corn Flower  buds 

It could be quite possible  by the next year that spring outbreak could be observed in the January itself going by the decreasing winter every year.
