Winter is knocking

 The beginning of winter season is considered post Diwali in India and the transition in to chilly weather brings changes into the garden as well 

While the summer blooms have still not bid adieu in the garden the presence of few winter blooms can be observed 

                                                      


                                                              It is last of the blooms of Peacock flower 



It has been a wonderful year for Lemonia booms and I'll hope they'll bloom for some more time until cold weather takes in                                                                                                              





It is wonderful that Blanket Flower has been blooming  throughout the year in my garden

Dry and Hot weather

 Summer season is at peak in our region, the scorching heat has made it impossible to step outside in daytime. Temperature is hovering above 40 degree Celsius.  

The efforts toiled to protect plants from summer heat are proving to be waste due to excessive heat and humid climate. 

            Meanwhile some hardy plants are striving the heat and daring to bloom in this hot weather.

Adeniums are most drought tolerant plants that can withstand any possible weather conditions 


                                                                          


Bougainvillea is a summer loving plant that blooms all throughout the summer and monsoon 

                                                                               

Pink Oleander  blooms
