Marvellous Mauves & More

 #DailyFlowers

 It is the season for the trees to burst in bloom, whether in India or across the world as Spring digs in its heels and starts to gallop on. On this blog, today the indigo, purple, lavender, blue-purples, pink-purples dominate.

 From the richer air of the hills come amazing hues
Magenta, indigo, pink-purple, violet to mention a few
The twitter timeline seems to have burst into spring
A riot of colors does some much needed freshness bring

 And then we have trees either in full bloom or ready to: Don't know the tree, there were just flowers. No leaves.. Good Morning to all. The Jacaranda. This one is from Chickmaglur where we took a tea stop. Good morning. I'm not sure which tree this is, but it looked hauntingly beautiful...Good morning. Good Morning. Hope you'll had a good night of sleep. Here's some morning freshness for everyone.

The Jacaranda and bauhinia are laden with flowers
The mauve, purple, lavender have special powers
But the season itself seems to celebrate these shades
Across many friends, these do form brigades
Not possible it is to write words for each anew
Therefore recourse is taken to do justice in lines few
Some uncommon flowers have also come to meet
With their strange beauty they do us greet
Scenes from India and US do collide
Each pic the other's colors wears with pride
Colors are coming out to play
Lighting up our days and ways

 

 

But it was not just the purple-lavender story
For other colors did also garner their glory

One specific shade across three flowers
This delicate peach-pink over the others towers
The hibiscus is firmly entrenched
Our thirst for its beauty yet to be quenched
That spiky ball Shashi did share
However, he couldn't quite identify the fare
Vivek brought a torch lily forth

Flowers in 2 stages, in the 3rd, its got ayurvedic worth

 Morning from Kerala, with the flowering of Kanikkonna ( don't know the name in English). #DailyFlowers signs of spring

 

Yellows teamed with orange came out to play
The golden did itself in a shower display
Nothing more cheery than the sunburst across the sky
This picturesque view is sure to give everyone a high

 

 

Good morning from Kerala too but a different part. Brightening up your morning with this beauty from a friend’s terrace garden. A special bunch from a special someone. Good morning

 And thence did enter the pink group

Oh, the colors that in did troop
In one pinks encircled oranges dear
In another purple-pinks sang loud and clear

Roses did Shalini in bring
With them another song ring

And then came flowers from one so dear
Vivek capped it off with torch lily and white roses sincere

 

We are hung to bloom soon. The flowers come first and then the leaves. Probably 15 days this week be a nice cherry blossom picture.

In Shashi's part of the world
Spring has finally in whirled
Cherry trees are laden with buds
Though leaves are yet the tree to flood
In a fortnight says he
A fully blossoming Cherry tree will we see

The traveler went to coffee land
There for a cuppa tea he made a stand
But then flowers he did share
From the plants that give us our daily cafe fair

 

And now for some sound. I was tweeting on Twitter when a real bird started tweeting on a tree. An amazing gift from nature. Do listen and enjoy. If anyone can identify the bird please let us all know

And last but not the least
Vivek manged to capture a whistling treat
Nature did send a gift
All of our spirits did it lift
