Monsoon in my Garden

 It has been raining from a week and more , the monsoon has brought big relief from heat waves after harsh summer which we have seen this year. 

The downpour has brought back blooms in the Garden 

                                                         Portulacas are back 

                                                                   

Water Lily blooms with Rain

                                                      Bougainvillea's are prolifically blooming                                                                                    

                                                                       

                                                         Rain Lilies are most awaited in monsoon       

                                                                              

Adeniums have been blooming from  long now and will bloom till  the end of Autumn season. 

 I spotted Tailor bird in my Balcony  and was able to capture a close up shot of it .Tailor bird is  a common scene during monsoon season in my Garden . They are known for their nest making skill from leaves  .    I have  covered about their nest making skill in my blog earlier post.          

Monsoon take over the Garden

 Monsoon has been satisfactory  by far , thereby the  first fortnight is here after monsoon plunged into the city. The dry and barren land is now covered with layer of greenery. 

                    I am surprised to see color pattern change in this hibiscus with the arrival of monsoon  

The fragrance is intoxicating of Arabian Jasmine 

When buds are as good as Blossoms 

                           Lilies are back into blooms

 Water lilies adoring blooms 

Rain Lilies enchanting blossoms after downpour 

Plumeria season 

When weeds are beautiful who would have heart for  deadheading 

It was surreal experience to spot Coots and Swamphen at the same place
