Spring Blooming vines

Spring is knocking the door and this is exciting time for Garden  as most of the spring annuals have started showing blooms and Flowering vines are also preparing for the spring show.

Flowering vines are an ode to the decoration of Garden .Here is a glance of some of the Flowering vines in my garden that are filled with blooms on the onset of spring.

Orange flame vine (Bignonia venusta )

The pretty orange flowers in clusters appear like a flame in the bright sunny location.

Vine Care and propagation 

Vines can be grown through seeds and can also be propagated through stem cutting which will give earlier blooms than growing them through seeds.  If grown in ground they don't require any special care and can strive on their own but if grown in pots they need fertilization once in a month or so.

Plumeria Blooming season

Plumeria plants are very  relatable to summer season .Their hardy stems which remains dormant all winter for long  show up some life with burst of new leaves all over the plant after the arrival of spring  which are then preceded with blossoms that stays all long through the summer.

                                                                 

While Plumeria has a distinct pleasant fragrance but mostly it is the combination of colors and flower structure that makes it an attractive plant of  summer.

The above two varieties are not that fragrant in fact have minute fragrance when compared to empowering fragrance of this Common plumeria                                                                            

                                            Common white plumeria                                                  

                                                           

                                                       Common White plumeria flower                                                            

Plumeria is quite drought tolerant plant when planted in ground but requires a little bit care when grown in a pot .It likes to be  fed with organic manure once in a while for brilliant blooms.
