The First one First....
As I described, in my previous post, the possible cause for my love
towards plants and flowers, and how I started my own rooftop garden on the roof
of my house, I also posted about a few of my plants......
So, starting from the first of the inhabitants of my small rooftop
garden -- The Mexican Tuberose (Rajnigandha)

stem.

Though, we got this plant more than 6 years ago, too, I didn't had an
opportunity, to see it blooming for myself. After a long wait, (five years at
my aunt's home), I got a few bulbs again, and this was the very first pair of
my Rajnigandha flower. Though, I had seen these earlier, as cut flowers in
bouquets, and in decorations, in marriages and other occasions, I didn't
realize that it's such a beauty to look up so close and it's scent,
particularly, was really mesmerizing. Though, it's a perinneal, it does bloom
only in the rainy season, (in India during July and August), though, this time,
I have one blooming right now for about a month now, in January, and even in
February.
I particularly, like it's long stems and the clusters of buds up there
on each stem, which bloom from bottom towards up, with each flower lasting
somewhere between one to three days.
