this too vanished!!
Category: nature's marvels | Posted: Thu Jul 07, 2011 5:02 am well, we have a lot of butterflies in the garden. the annoying thing is, before the reach the flying away stage, they vanish. they lay their eggs, then the caterpillars are out, they eat up a whole plant, then they go into the pupa stage, then, gone. must be the birds. anyway, it is the rule of nature. some pics.

rain!rain!!rain!!!
Category: nature's marvels | Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 5:35 am The monsoon has set in at the right time. rains everyday, keeps on raining. work outside is not easy. plants need a lot of trimming and pruning once the rain slows down. but the heat of the summer has gone, it is very cool this time of the year. i had been waiting for this plant to flower for a very long time. and this year, it has bloomed. i just love the fragrance it gives, heavenly.

memories of an unexpected holiday!
Category: thoughts & plans | Posted: Mon May 23, 2011 5:21 am once again, i am back. i just returned from an unexpected holiday. went on a visit to dubai to be with my grandson. and i enjoyed my stay there, for 3 weeks. we visited a few places in the limited time my son could manage with his job. and easter came in between, so that was an experience too. it is amazing the amount of work they put in to make the desert lush with green lawns, colourful petunia beds, and date farms in and around the city. there are a lot of nurseries selling all sorts of plants. my son picked up a bonsai from one of them in the outskirts. let me post some of the pics. 
greens & colours in the desert! ( photo / image / picture from greenfairy's Garden )

it's worth the wait!
Category: nature's marvels | Posted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 4:50 am wow! i had to wait for two years to get one of these flowers to bloom again. when i bought this plant which i was told was called ripsalis - there were one or two buds on it. it bloomed and then nothing. last year, there were the beginning of a few buds, but some hoppers ate them up. so, i had to wait for another year.and..... here goes!
