Spring Blooms....
Since, this is spring
in this part of the world, I have a lot of my flowers plants blooming,
including my Roses, Marigolds, and Ghazanias, and a lot other plants, in line
to bloom, including my two Arabian Jasmine plants, a host of rose plants, which
I recently added to my collection, some marigold plants, the Crepe Jasmine, the
Rangoon Creeper (Quisqualis Indica), the Hibiscus (red) and my grape vine too
(that I added last monsoon).
The flowers blooming
during spring are one of the prettiest blooms, and here's one, one of my red
roses.

Since my marigold plants too, are
blooming, I can have a feast for my eyes by watching the marigold plants with
flower colours ranging from lime yellow to orange, and dark green foliage
underneath.

Calendulas
are too good bloomers, but, only during winters. Since these are annuals, they
live for just the winters here, and die out before the spring, making way for a
splash of colours for spring and summers. Both my Calendula plants have died,
but, I have collected the seeds, hopeful that both will again bloom next season.

Watching water drops on leaves of
plants, is always a feast, and make for a good subject for photography.

All these photographs were taken on a single day, and since it
rained the last night, all the plants are either wet or have water drops on
them.
Pleasant to eyes :)

ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteloving your blog ! How cold do your winters get ? Here in the uk we are currently experiencing one of the coldest Marches we can remember with deep snow in some parts of the country. It is a good reminder of Spring, looking at your photos - hope ours will arrive soon !
Hello Jane. Thanks for visiting my blog. About the winters, here in this part of India (Delhi), we don't experience winters as cold as yours, though, the last winters, here were chilling, with the minimum temperatures dropping well below 2 degree celsius, but, we never experience snowfall, except some occasional hail stones about once a year or so. I wish that your spring comes soon, and we have some more flowers to watch.
