Box of Rain

I watch the rain from my new perch in Siliguri. What a downpour!



This one was taken two hours after the first picture.


And these two several hours later. These are the Darjeeling hills.


 

Compliments of the Season

Ixoras are in full bloom and this first picture is a pot-pourri - by Mithoo the gardener. There are several colours and sizes of flowers to be found on different bushes dotting the compound.





This bush in the picture above produces both orange and yellow flowers.


This one is a classic flower - fiery orangey red.


This is a bush of miniature blooms.



Wow, strike me pink! This is the first time we've managed to grow this colour!


I have no words for these - but Mithoo Mali has done a great job arranging them.



Another precious new entrant this year - golden yellow.
I hope these flowers have brightened your day, wherever you are!

...And March Sunset

A March Morning

'Oh, I've Seen Fire and I've Seen Rain...'

 

 

See SkyWatch Friday - other people's skies!

Flowers for Joy

Some of our dahlias were displayed on 'Today's Flowers'.
Here's one of the plants that produced the spiky pink cactus variety.


And this lot against the cold weather morning light.


Full House, here!


Ah, I miss the cold weather!

Partha Sends Flowers!

These lovely blooms were grown by our friend Partha and his family on the terrace/balcony of their flat in Siliguri. Aren't they bold and beautiful?
Partha's Nokia phone has produced superb images, as always!
