Today's Flowers

This is the white plumbago, called Chitrak locally. It is a wild flower native to peninsular India and Sri Lanka. Its botanical name is Plumbago zeylanica. The plant is used in Ayurveda to treat high fever and stomach ailments.
The Impatiens prefers shade.

The blue Chinese Bells is a new addition to my garden. I brought it from Kerala.I hope it will do well here.


Poinsettias are bloomingeverywhere now, reminding us that Christmas is approaching.




This Common Asystasia has no season, nor any preference about light or shade. Since it is such an uncomplaining bloomer, I tend to ignore it.
