Spring in the air

 Spring is in full swing, the warm weather prevailing from last week was subsided by the western disturbances right now. The weather has turned pleasant after fresh western disturbances making the   atmosphere of spring lovely.

Plumeria Blooming season

Plumeria plants are very  relatable to summer season .Their hardy stems which remains dormant all winter for long  show up some life with burst of new leaves all over the plant after the arrival of spring  which are then preceded with blossoms that stays all long through the summer.

                                                                 

While Plumeria has a distinct pleasant fragrance but mostly it is the combination of colors and flower structure that makes it an attractive plant of  summer.

The above two varieties are not that fragrant in fact have minute fragrance when compared to empowering fragrance of this Common plumeria                                                                            

                                            Common white plumeria                                                  

                                                           

                                                       Common White plumeria flower                                                            

Plumeria is quite drought tolerant plant when planted in ground but requires a little bit care when grown in a pot .It likes to be  fed with organic manure once in a while for brilliant blooms.
