May Bloom Day

May Bloom Day

Summer is here, mercury topped 48 celcius this month. Nevertheless the summer annuals are in full bloom. Zinnias, Balsam, Portulaca and Sunflower. Perrenials such as Gardenia, Lagustromia Indica etc. are also in action. Considering the adverse conditions, garden is in great shape.

Balsam (front) and Zinnia (back)

Balsam






Zinnia




Portulaca - These shy bloomers are perhaps the most beautiful of all annuals


Sunflowers - Just starting off


Petunias - Still tottering along for the third month running



Gallardia - These are also just starting.. these flowers are leftovers from my seedling nursery


Cosmos


Dwarf Cockscomb

Statice

Amaranthus Tricolor


Phlox- Its been a great year for these guys, lots of flowers in this border.


Perrenials - The most delightful Perrenials are blooming
Almost all trees are in flower, I feature the two best.
Lagustromia Indica - This has to be the grandest Indian tree


Gardenia - The most delightfully fragrant tree that i have smelt.



Bulbs - Two bulb varieties flowered in May
