#DailyFlowers
And so January comes to an end! What a month!! Even as hopes of Covid receding since vaccines were in play grew, unrest both in the US and India spiked. The US transitioned to the new administration and India, sad to say plumbed new depths. Never in the history of this beautiful nation has the state so effectively subverted its people, its police, judiciary and legislative to deny its citizens the very basic rights enshrined in its constitution. Never has the apex court the very defender of these rights and the constitution been found so lacking, so dark. But against these, mother nature seems to throw her colors madly upon the world as if to say... if these disparate shades can co-exist, why can't you.
And Nature's beauty is not seen just in her flowers, blossoms and blooms.
Thankful to my Uncle , who said the garden is mine too when I showed him the blogs which featured his pics...he was very happy...As it is a lazy Sunday, thought would share a few pictures of different hues of leaves...
Nature's beauty hast no end
to all and everything she does color send
Did you think only flowers could bloom
These multicolored leaves are children of her loom
Many a designer can take her combinations to heart
Colors always cheer and unite, they do not part
The mango tree on our eastern neighbor’s side has blossomed nicely. If all goes well (weather & monkeys permitting) we might be able to pick mangoes by just leaning over. We have grown together. Of course for the world its journey has been more fruitful than mine
Vivek, he of the Bougainvillea fame
brought forth a mango tree to add to his game
Then compared its fruiting to himself he did
And then added the fruits to his capturing bid
Not satisfied with the mango tree
He then again of Asmita's restrictions broke free
Another Bougainvillea, from Pune this time
He and his fellow polio vaccinators fell in line
His eyes did a sweet pink spot
As it brightened the clinic's lot
Trawling on FB for some flowers
He came upon some white showers
Very generously Jola did share
These snow flowers so rare
V's friend shared her blooms
Purple and yellow plumes
Such brilliance does nature gift
The very sight our spirits does lift

The marigold are home flowered after a lot of coaxing from Asmita. The distinct colour at the petal borders fascinated me. #DailyFlowers
Home flowered Marigold
Enrich the home's gold
Lots of coaxing n care
Gives Vivek a gem to share
On the other a deep red does flare
Its blooms many blooms do bear
Eternal favorites face the sun
As their time begins its run
Nature's melody rings out a peach and pink
The flowers' symmetry makes us think
The balancing act and care
In Nature's play here and there

Meanwhile, mums still going strong, almost a month now :)
Flowers from Mum bloom long
They are enriched with the maternal love song
Along the mums are blossoms yellow and white
Adding to the 'vase's delight
One admires the plant's settings
An arc that curves up to bloom
Forming a full and gorgeous plume
Some say pinks are hyped
But they can never be typed
So many hues and shades do preen
Am surprised other colors don't turn green
#DailyFlowers trains and flowers from a visit to Brookside Gardens in the Maryland - Washington DC area. Have a great weekend. And from the Smithsonian in Washington DC
Brookside Gardens and the Smithsonian together display
Blossoms and booms in gorgeous array
Colors pristine, colors bright
All in all a glorious sight
This is theyyam, a ritualistic dance form which is believed to give the performers the power of Gods. Happy Sunday. Today's #DailyFlowers is from
@Georgetown
Tradition and monument a testament to history
One a dance form, with flames and full of mystery
Worship and flowers go hand in hand
All creations do proudly stand
