Blooms that Delight

 #DailyFlowers

 Lockdowm to a degree continues with work from here here to stay for some more time and since gyms although open are restricting numbers at one time, home exercising is going up. And so it is with the blogger; except that she dropped a dumbbell onto her arm yesterday when changing grips and had to defer the post. But rest, icing, bracing and a good sleep made everything hunky-dory again, though the stupid fiber (internet connectivity) is playing spoilsport... But flowers are sporting and the pix takers and sharers even more so... 

So, let's begin with who else but Shashi: #DailyFlowers begin from home. Have a great Sunday! This is from a 2014 visit to Boston and this is the lobby of the apartments @TheBatchYard

Blooms at home and away in one shot
Beautiful blossoms that make us smile a lot
Reds, whites, yellow with the greens play
They light up the environs like the sun's gentle rays

Add to this roses from two people, both Shashi and Gautam brought in deep pinks bright:  When nature takes a break, you need a beautiful sight! Wild roses, three in a row, in my garden #dailyflowers

The beauty of roses
Is such that one supposes
They have been made with just one reason
To provide us humans joy in every season

Not to be left behind, Vivek brought in Africa, his cousin's garden and more...: Blooms of the Moringa that will give us drumsticks. Fun fact: Among the Konso tribals of Ethiopia a man must plant and nurture 4 moringa trees in his plot b4 getting married. #DailyFlowers! From my elder sis Dr Rashmi’s garden! Color reminds me of icing on the cake. Good morning!

Vivek took us on a flowering journey with a rich narrative spree
Pale creams, lavenders and pinks did blend
In his mind, to frosting on cakes did they lend

Vishnu was not too far off from him,
Colors radiantly breathtaking did in bring
These pinks do the hearts delight
Tiny blooms bunched together are quite a sight

Here's a click from a neighbor, Uday Baxi, who was kind enough to give permission. May his tribe increase! Mums on my brain! Here's the new bouquet from hubby dear. Meanwhile Mum's mums are still looking fresh!  Stolen from neighbors garden by V

Whites for some reason did abound
Quite a few sharers did bring them round
But whites are whites and still more than whites
Gaze deeply into these flowers and enjoy nature's supreme delights

 Here are some chillies that look so much like rose buds (apologies to admin!). Vivek promptly replied with:

"Woe betide the bee
who had a stuffed nose
and mistook the chilly
for a beautiful rose."

Sharers these days immense liberty take
Apart from the admin's pout, not much is at stake
Thence Shalini decided chillies did perfectly in fit
After all, like flowers they did to pix-taking submit

These have been holding for quite some time
The blogger could not find words to adequately rime
But unfair it is to hold them away
So for your gazes they have come out to play
