inHave you ever tried to talk to flowers? If u havent u must… they have this lovely language… language of happiness. U cant be around flowers and feel sad for long. They have a magic around them. A true magic. I often do talk to them specially when I am feeling a little low.
Be it in your garden or a single flower kept in the corner of the room its sure to cheer one up… The regulars on this blog know how much I love flowers. So when I saw that The Key Bunch (a brilliant blog BTW) is a hosting a september party on say it with flowers I had to contribute 😀
Pokkalam I made for Ganesh Chaturthi at the entrance of my house
And these are the pooja flowers recycled…. put in a glass bowl with water.
PS: U might want to check out my previous flower posts…couldnt resist putting a list of some of my favorite flowers posts here 😀 😀

Some 3 years back during my usual walks in the colony, I broke a branch of the tree whose flowers I loved… nurtured it for 3 years and it teased me by alternating between being healthy and looking dull at times…
When all its friends were flowering so beautifully, this one refused to reciprocate my love by flowering… 😦
And then last week when I went back to my old house to get the cleaning done… it welcomed me by its bloom… a lovely white pepping from the leaves and I stood there for 5 minutes staring hard… persistence does pay off 😀
Bolo doesn’t it take your heart away 🙂

inThe thing I miss the most about my previous house is the garden beyond a doubt (ok D if u are reading this, it doesnt mean I dont miss u… I miss u ok 😉 )
I miss waking upto the chirping birds
I miss waking upto the sight of bougainvillea in my backyard
I miss the aroma of growing mint and curry leaves
I miss the overpowering smell of night queen and just standing at the gate to enjoy the same
I love plucking some fresh green chillies to throw in my food
I miss my happiness spreading elements, my flowers, the ones that are soft as a petal and the ones that are bleeding hearts
I miss the roses that were finally starting to bloom
I miss the rainy days when all we do is have fun in the garden
I miss my morning cup of tea in the balcony with lots of greenery around…
Ok u get it, I miss my garden a lot 🙂
So when today morning I woke up to see the first blooms of this house in small tiny pots, I was delighted
So here’s presenting to u, the first bloom of this house 😀

bleeding heart, Bounganvillea, flowers, garden, ginger lily, hibiscus, home, rose
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
the ginger lily
dont know their name but again I have them in multiple colors at home
Flowers indeed cheer one up 🙂
