From my Court Yard


While through out the country, there is heavy rainfall causing widespread destruction to life and property, we had been waiting for the clouds to turn to us. At last we were favored in some small measure. The various plants in my court yard are in bloom expressing their happiness. You may provide their names as I feel I am botanically challenged!

Adenium (Desert Rose)
Rose (Rishi)

Violet Trumpet vine


Hibiscus Miniature (1.5 centemeters)

Button Rose (Miniature)

Parijat - Harsingar, Tree of Sorrow (Nyctanthes arbortristis)

    @Chitra
    Thank you. Not exactly but when living in a concrete jungle you need some greenery around. I do love nature as such.

    Such lovely flowers. I was looking at the desert rose flowers and plants on Discovery and thought they were completely fascinating.

    बहुत सुन्दर फूल हैं मैने कैलिफोर्निया मे इतनी तरह के सुन्दर फूल देखे कि कभी कल्पना भी नही कर सकती वहाँ जंगलों मे भी सुन्दर विचित्र फूल देखने को मिले। कुदरत का क्रिश्मा हैं ये सुन्दर फूल। धन्यवाद इस सुन्दर पोस्ट के लिये।

    What a beautiful collection of flowers. One doesnt mind being botanically challenged if one were half as aesthetically endowed as you have been. Put the bunches together and you have a grand floral carpet to receive Maveli. HAPPY ONAM !!

    Hello PNS:)

    Amazing collection of colorful, beautiful flowers. I am sure you are an expert gardener although you say you are botanically challenged.

    I tried my hands growing flowers but have failed in most of my attempts. Only recently I could get a few flowers and I would like to post some photos drawing inspiration from you.

    Having some flowering plants around the house always gives us immense joy for the sheer beauty and charm and to have some colorful butterflies flitting on them will be a great thrill to watch.

    I am not an expert on flowers and therefore naming them is something beyond area of knowledge.

    This is one your beautiful posts and I admired all your flowers.They are gorgeous.

    Best wishes:)
    Joseph

    मुझे पता नहीं था कि आप पर्यारणविद् हैं. आपने MEGHnet पर मावेली संबंधी टिप्पणी दी उसके लिए धन्यवाद. आपका ब्लॉग बहुत खूबसूरत और जानकारी से भरा है. इसे देख कर आँखों को ठंडक मिली.

    Hi,
    I don't remember your personal email hence writing here. I want to visit Bhumara and Tigawa temples in my MP tour. As you have quoted many times about these sites, so I would need your help to locate these sites. May you please let me know how I can reach these two sites?

    Nice post, all the flowers are really beautiful.

    Thought of introducing an orchid found in Assam : "Kopou Phool" (dove flower) also known as "foxtail orchid"
