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.
