flowers in the garden

Planting seeds, growing flowers, picking weeds, taking walks along the weeded paths…

…my in-laws have small patches of shrubs and trees all around the house and any time of the year some fresh fruit would be in the season or some sweet plant is bursting with flowers.

For few days that we stayed there, it was an absolute bliss to wake up each day and take lovely walks among the blooms in the morning mist.

We even got to prepare some beds and plant a bunch of seeds.

Can not wait to show you some pictures, if all goes well and they start flowering.

In the meantime, here are few more flowers that are blossoming all over the trellis.

The floral trellis called for a bit of glimmer and that’s how it got bound in a sunny yellow.

Hope you are enjoying heaps of summer sunshine while working in your little gardens :o)

Pratima & Kalyan,

These are awesome awesome pictures. I just hope we have more homes like these in urban India.

That is very true, Avinash. It's really sad that it's so hard to find a small patch to garden these days :(

Hope you had a wonderful wonderful trip :)
