Temperate December

 It was at the end of November month when the unprecedented chilly weather created a role for expectation of cold beginning of  December . It is the fortnight of December still the weather is warm which I guess  is in  consequence of  the climate change. 

Bauhinia Purpurea 

It is the season  for blooming period of  Purple Orchid Tree . They bloom in my region at the end of Autumn and blooms till the beginning of winter. 

                                                                              

                                                                   

Where the orchid like structure of flower is attracting , the mild fragrance of bauhinia is pleasing .

                                                                

Dombeya

The perennial shrub has   ball like blooms which are appealing and there long  blooming period can be enjoyed  for over  a month .

It is the first of blooms of marigold and chrysanthemums which marks the beginning of  cooler season .

Garden Affair : Dombeya Flower

                     We are receiving heavy rainfall from last four days which has led to drop in temperatures to single digit simultaneously . Dombeya wallichi is the only shrub in my region that blooms in the coldest days of the year. 

                                                                 

Its huge ball shaped pleasant smelling  blooms attracts bees and butterflies. 

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