the Araucaria ....
Pink Abutilon .........
Violet creeper ( railway creeper )...
Right side of the garden during rains........right behind the papaya tree the curry patta and lemon tree are jostling for space ........
Left side of the garden .........you can see the plants battered by rains , sunflowers can be seen which were in the last lap of their growth span , they are huge sunflowers ( 6-7 inch diameter ) rains made it difficult for them ... In this picture only a few sunflower plants have been left . I am posting a riot of sunflowers in the later part of this post ....scrawl down...... Luckily i have saved a few seeds.
The papaya trees about a month ago...
Some potted greenery..................
These lilies look like two shining stars to me......... almost wild again...
A small rock garden i tried to construct , still needs some work....
Mogra during the rains.........last lap of the mogra season.................
Isn't it wild ....well almost....
Some more abutilons....
A branch of lemons in the sunshine........
The Gomphrenas i uprooted last week and saved the bright colored flowers for dry decorations...
Close up....
One more shot of the Araucaria...
And now ........my happy sunflowers .........attracting lots of bees....
The buds coming up.......
Young flowers.......
Growing neatly in a row......
Drooping with it's own weight....
Don't they look absolutely happy........
A few of my readers and friends have been asking for my garden pictures ....... i want to remind you my friends...that , this is a lazy woman's garden and the pictures have been uploaded in a lazy frenzy.....if there is something like that .............. but the pictures made me happy in the middle of the night and hope they will do the same to you too......... cheers !!!

All I want is a curry leaf plant in my choti si nanhi si balcony :(
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarita Ji... I know it's so difficult to handle this . I met a very sweet friend of mine a few 3 days ago , she is a cancer survivor and a very jolly person .. we actually have to work out our own ways to accept it , for friends or for ourselves...
ReplyDelete@ Sakshi.....there are millions of little curry patta seedlings here and i wish i could send them to you .
didi sunflowers to really bahut sundar aur bade hain.tu apni window kw plants bhi sabko dikha, wo bhi to amazing hain
ReplyDeletegood good sangita, a nice beautiful garden, what if the living space is little, the breathing space is big and iam enjoying the photos, i need show them to sundar. do u have to give the other residents, their due share of lemons or grapefruit.Thanks for posting keeping me in mind. A neat and a well defined garden is no beauty, there is always a artificial set up. but this one gives a true picture of a house hold garden, great work
ReplyDeleteHey Sangeeta, Absolutely beautiful!! Now I am on to a guessing game of sorts ki aakhir yeh green green patch hai kaha?? You see,most of my life I have also lived in government quarters in south Delhi. Anyways, I loved the wild wild look of this garden and the credit is to this multi talented lady.. Sangeeta... keep it up. Hum sookhe se peedit logo ke liye.. this is a treat absolutely.. I specially loved the lemons and the happy happy sunflowers..
ReplyDeletetake care
Hi Nirupama ... you had reminded me so many times for my garden pics that i had to do it . I must thank you for this as the pictures made me glad in the middle of a health crisis .
ReplyDeleteEven i don't like the manicured city gardens and i keep away from those things . While most of the trees i have inherited from the previous occupants of this apartment , the flowers and veggies are a real good indulgence for me ..
Hi Rekha...Tell me if you could guess where is this green patch ...of course i wouldn't publish if you are right :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the generosity in your complements... The garden , the pictures and now all these smiling comments make me feel great right now ... after a severe bout of migraine that is.
you have a lovely garden.. look at that sunflower wowow...
ReplyDeletewish i had such a good one..
Bikram's
Oh! fantastic.I love the greenery around your apartment. Kudos for you have been contributing for the colors around. Can you send me a snap of Chakotra. It is only during my childhood that Iused to look at the tree with watermelon sized (yellow)fruits.
ReplyDeleteLike the way the Papayas are coming up.
ReplyDeleteBy the way the camera that I use is Canon SX20.
I am not very happy with it, so I am making the best of it (may be I have to learn more about the camera)
@ P.N. Subramanian ...
ReplyDeleteThank you for liking my jungle . There are still two small chakotra on the tree ,i will pluck them and send you the pics . I have the pics for my food blogs in my drafts n will share them very soon.
@ Joe ..
ReplyDeleteThank you .
I am a big fan of your photography and the camera doesn't come in the way for you i know that now.
Mine is a Sony Cybershot DSC-W180 ... I am not too patient with my photography yet and i know i have o go a long way . Moreover i indulge in experiencing the moment and get carried away most of the times .
Joe ...i searched about the Canon SX20 and it is a great camera , actually a downsized DSLR .... nothing to complaint as such.
ReplyDeleteMaintaining your little patch of green is really hard and continuous work and You are doing a really good job with this. I have visited your blog quite a number of time these past few days and was much refreshed to see these pictures of flowers and foliage from your garden. Loved all the pictures above specially the sunny sinflowers, aurucaria, and papayas. Do keep posting more photographs
ReplyDeleteThank you Amrita...
ReplyDeleteHard work it is ,but just for some 2-3 days a months , the greenery doesn't demand anything as such but yes , if i want some rewards ( veggies etc. ) i have to work a bit more.
These pictures are refreshing me too whenever i come here , these pictures were lost somewhere in the files and now i can have a look at them at once.
i love gardens that go wild, crazy with fertility.. yours seems one such.. btw, i know i am a bit late, but have started following Homealone starting today
ReplyDeleteThanks Gauri....For all the sweet things..
ReplyDeletebeautiful garden you have. love the violet creepers. thats a lot of hardwork you put in there. this stone garden idea is great...looks fantastic with some terracotta animal shaped pots.
ReplyDeletethanks for your comment on my blog also. the soil here in bangalore is very bad, full of stones and debris (especially my garden). dont know when we will go back to Kolkata and will have my own dream garden. keeping a veggie patch is a lot of hard work but the rewards are wonderful...but right now we only have some potted plants. cleaned the whole garden to start allover again.
