Summer is Here

Summers in my region are not at all anticipated which is quite opposite to the places  in the world where summers are pleasantly welcomed after prolonged freezing winter period .In my region due to unusual scorching heat waves  that summer weather brings we felt relieved whenever  summer is delayed due to extend in winter period .

                                                         Now after delaying by a fortnight presence of summer can be felt in the garden 
           
                                                 
                                           Plumeria are coming out of hibernation 
                                                     

Miniature roses are giving last of their blooms

Scarlet Milkweed blooms are in full glory

Peacock flower Yellow

It was exhilarating to see bloom of semi double Hollyhock

Summers can't be imagined without presence of Adeniums and Zinnias 

Although after delaying for long Summer heat can finally be felt  still some of the spring annuals are showing no signs of withering off in upcoming days                         

Dahlias are still coming up with magnificent blooms

Gazanias are going strong with blooms too

Magical encounter with spring

Its time when sun is up with scorching heat and heatwaves will start in near by time.Spring annuals are at last blooming stage and most of them have withered off.

Here its time to enjoy the last burst of colors in garden before the temperature touches 40 degree celsius.

                                                  GAZANIA

Most hardy annuals that survive serious drought conditions and can be saved for next year
                                                       

Everlasting or Helichrysum

Hollyhock

One of the late spring annual but worthy the wait.

Amaryllis Lily

Springtime lover hippeastrum blooms with onset of spring

Hibiscus

Hibiscus flowers rise up with advent of spring and gives  blooms till harsh summer heatwaves have not started                                                                                                                                          

Phlox will be missed till another spring

Whereas Summer can kill plants make them wither off,but there are some hardy plants that give color to the otherwise dry part of summer.                                                                            

Purslane

Spider lily

To my surprise my Asparagus fern bloomed first time thereby complimenting its attractive foliage

One of those heavy blossoms of Cherry tomatoes 

Nothing tastes better then home grown tomatoes that too from seeds.

There is a fruiting shrub known as Phalsa plant or Grewia asiatica which has some beautiful flowers with much more tastier tangy ,sweet berries                                                          

Gardenia

When we draw towards Fragrance of flower that one single flower that is enough to turn your head towards its fragrance and beauty 

We can grow marigold for most part of the year except the most harsh summertime

HAPPY GARDENING !!!!
