Monsoon arrival in the city

 Its raining cats and dogs , the monsoon onset with heavy downpour has created a ruckus in northern part of India. While the condition in my city is stable for now and the concurrent rains has actually worked good for garden. 

Thereby  garden is gaining greenery with rains, some of the cotyledons are into blooms early after the heavy downpour of last week.


                        I am thrilled to see mango blooming after the monsoon rains so  there will be third time harvest this year.                                                              








                  It is enthralling to see blooms of Portulaca , Lemonia back after break in summer season.

After a closer look I noticed a green mark over the eyes which was extended till its beak and after searching about it I was surprised to know that this green  lore is a effect that develops on Great Egret when there breeding starts.

Garden Affair : Mango Tree

 Summer season has begun in our region , amidst the scorching  heat of summer it is summer season  fruits that come as a relief in this hot summer season . Mangoes are the most expectant fruit in summer . I had a old  mango tree in my garden from more than three decades.  The unique attribute of tree is that it bears fruit for two seasons. 

Mango tree is an easy to grow hardy fruit bearing tree which grows without requiring much care 

and can withstand drought like conditions. 


               This is the first harvest of raw mangoes for this summer season.                                                         



                                                                              






It is the time for link up party where you can share posts related to Gardening, Nature and birds . The link up party will be open for a week starting from Saturday.

Summer Splash

 Summer season is going on and heat waves are  blowing in my city . Monsoon has reached in the country and hopefully it would reach our region within upcoming weeks. While Summer Garden usually lacks color this year fortunately  due to continuous weather disturbances summer blooms have showed on and off in the entire summer season.

Countdown to Winter

 The days are getting colder with every passing day as temperature at day time  has dropped to mid of 70s Fahrenheit which is quite cold for this time of year in our region. The reason could be due to unexpected hailstorm in my city  that happened in last week and fresh snowfall going on  in the hilly areas. While my winter garden preparation is going with full swing here are some blooms and developments that were observed after a walk in to the garden.

Spider lilies are in full bloom with a heady scent after their leaves were thinned and pruned after attack of worms.

                                                    



It was a surprise to spot Rain Lily blooming at this time of year
