Winter is knocking

 The beginning of winter season is considered post Diwali in India and the transition in to chilly weather brings changes into the garden as well 

While the summer blooms have still not bid adieu in the garden the presence of few winter blooms can be observed 

                                                      


                                                              It is last of the blooms of Peacock flower 



It has been a wonderful year for Lemonia booms and I'll hope they'll bloom for some more time until cold weather takes in                                                                                                              





It is wonderful that Blanket Flower has been blooming  throughout the year in my garden

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. 



                                                            



                                                                   

Rain brings Rain lily to blooms

Aquatic blooms revive with downpour

ZINNIAS




Meanwhile a Indian Great Egret was spotted near Lake 


                                                                 


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.
