Garden Affair : Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

 The Year 2025 is ending , the year which will be remembered for  an unusual weather system which is  ending on a note of  warm winter . This year makes me realize and become thoughtful about the impact and forewarning of  Global warming which is now becoming a reality, still going through the  current scenario the weather patterns still gives us chance as ' forewarned is forearmed' . 

It has become a ritual for my Thank giving cactus to bloom near Christmas every year  from the  last decade . 

                                              

The only silver lining of warm December is plumerias  especially Plumeria pudica is blooming in the last week of December  which is unexpected for this time of year.

Garden Affair : Plumerias in Summer Garden

 Plumerias are one of the most beautiful flowering shrubs that blooms consistently for the most part of the year . Plumeria blooms are now back after a break with the arrival of hot weather . 

                                         

Plumeria Care and Propagation  

Plumeria plants are easy to grow plants and can withstand drought like conditions and still give continuous blooms. Plumeria can be easily propagated through stem cuttings .

Lovely Autumn

After a long hit and miss monsoon weather ,we can feel the breeze of autumn in our place.Garden is filled with riot of colors .



Plumeria pudica or Wild plumeria is a longtime blomming with cheerful white flowers emerging from spoon shaped leaves
                                                                           

Vinca has been native plant in our environment for its heat bearing capacity. This dark vinca is hybrid specie .

                                                                                                                                       

Another drought tolerant plant ,perfect for our atmostphere Jatropha plant twinkles bright in sunshine.                                                                                                                                          

Dwarf Dahlia blooming is indication of  advent of Autumn

 Hibiscus ,the Hawaiin  variety are becoming my favourites for the blooms that are spectacular 

It has been good favorable weather for Tithonia  for long summer days have supplied constant blooms                                                                                                                                           

Butterfly Pea has adopted my garden very well and given many more plants probably due to easy dispersion of seeds freely                                                                                                                

When we talk about self seeders, Four o clock grows like a weed  in garden and I have no heart to pluck them off  due to there easy no care growing capability, of course beautiful blooms                                                       

Dianthus starts blooming with fall in temperature.

Gaillardias are garden friends for my region ,they thrive through long summer and blooms in winter too.                                                                                                                                                   

Since autumn is best time to prepare your garden for spring blooms and winter vegetables ,its time to start sowing seeds of flowers and vegetables. In the next post I ll try to discuss easy germination of winter flower seeds .                                                                                                                           

Happy Gardening !
