Wow, the first one is cardamom. Not only does it make an awesome seasoning but the flower is cool!

Nice! I wish I could get my Adenium (desert rose) to bloom... I've had it a year now, and I'm afraid my kitten has taken a liking to it

Hello Mani,

I enjoyed your first pictures, later I come back to log on to geeks and you have 8 more lovely photos. What a gorgeous collection of flowers and colors.

How long of a growing season do you have over there in India?

The flowers are just stunning, love each one of them. Thank you for them.

Thanks K, You are welcome. The Parijat in English is Nyctanthes arbor-tristis Nice fragrant flower. We offer it to our Gods. The red at the end of the flowers is used for dying clothes.
Regards,
Mani.
