They bloom to spread happiness

2009 July 9

Flowers have a beauty that nothing can match, a small tiny bloom in one’s garden can bring so much joy… this post has been lying in drafts from so long now and when I saw Preeti’s post about flowers… I realized its time to upload those snaps and publish the post…

So here it is guys, some blooms from my own garden

the bleeding hearts

the white bunches I dont know what they are call, we brought this plant as a cutting from Coorg and the gardener we had at that time said of its useless… but still asked me to plant because it signfied the plant from the travel (yes we are crazy, everyplace we go we bring a plant back… we even brought a plant back from yelagiri when we went there by bike :D ) and now this plant gives us this bunches all through the year

the solitary rose, not by any means the best rose… but i am readlly bad at growing roses.. this is one of the few that have bloomed… such a shame my mom was known for her roses in the whole colony where we used to live before and when we were moving to an apartment where we didnt have the space to keep them, there was a near fight for her rose plants…

the lovely double hibsicus… i have hibsicus in many colors at home, some in two tones.. sadly only this and the standard red is in bloom right now

the red and white Bounganvillea, till about two months back it was covering the whole of my backfence and they used to bloom like crazy…. but then the society wanted to raise the height of the fence and they cut the whole thing… the whole thing, just with the stem left… I was so scared whethere it will come back or not… thankfully it is… I have a yellow one too but thats still to bloom

    coincidently i was browsing thru a garden blog today.. (http://jamesmissier.blogspot.com) he seems to be v passionate about his garden too..

    loved all ur blooms,, especially the bleeding heart, ginger lily, double hibiscus and the last one.. sitting or roaming around in the garden is like therapy right?

    we did some kitchen gardening too when i was a kid n dad had a huge garden surrounding our house form 3 sides.. now its only about potted plants here n there..

    i love flowers…i love the tulips we get in our garden – front and back – at the start of spring. they r just too lovely.
    Sadly i dont have any pics.

    You sure have some wonderful ones in your garden. I am curious to find out that orange ginger lily here -they look like some fish. I love them.

    beautiful…

    Very beautiful and prettier pics.
    I love that idea of getting a plant from places you travel to. Never thought of that …not that I travel as much but still the idea is a gem.
    I am waiting for my rose plants to bloom and then I am gonna do one of these posts. The rains & winds in Pune are just worrying me, if they will ever let the poor plants bloom.
