Garden Affair : Happy Independence Day

 Its 79th Independence Day , the year when India had encountered multitude of Challenging situations and was able to successfully weather the storm . I am really proud to be born in this country. 

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY 

Garden is basking in  green cover  after prolonged Monsoon rains . Rain Lilies and Portulacas are blooming in profusion in Garden . 

                                                                 

Nature finds its way to surprise us when we are not expecting it . Those who do Gardening can relate with the lines  " Its about finding something valuable and delightful when weren't  actively searching for it , and it can bring joy, persona growth and new opportunities. "                                                    

I almost forgot about an avocado seed that I planted in a container in summers until it appeared out of nowhere during my Garden cleaning in the form of  full grown  seedling after the magic of             monsoon spell upon it.                                                                                                                             

The seedling popped out of Seed which I completely forgot after planting in summers.

Happy Independence Day

 Its our 78th Independence Day , Monsoon has created havoc in my city. Heavy Downpour from last three consecutive days has brought ruckus in my Garden. The blooms especially annuals which were blooming in the last week have withered off after the downpour. 

The garden has fewer  blooms right now but silver lining is it has more greenery than last few months.

The floral growth in garden is back on track and blossoms are coming out slowly which will continue to end its glory till the end of Autumn .
