Garden Affair: Adenium blooming season

 Summers have officially started in my region. The transition from spring to summer is time when the  summer perennials emerge  out of hibernation. Desert Rose or Adenium obesum is one of the most hardy perennial that blooms in summer and blooms remain for most part of the summer season. 

                                                                        

It is the time for link up party Garden affair where we can share posts related to Gardening, Nature and birds. The link up party will be open for a week.

Garden Affair : Adenium season is back

 Summer season is approaching which has brought back life in dormant Adenium obesum plants. The blooms on Adenium plant are back after long dormancy.  

Adeniums are drought tolerant hardy plants that can thrive through severe harsh conditions and bring out blooms when temperature soars.

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
