Spring is in the Air

The birds are chirping, bees are buzzing and seeds are sprouting. Spring is in the air. What a joy to experience the seasons in the sun again! It feels good to be alive.

We had couple of day-long rain showers in February. Houston needed that soaking rain after last year’s drought like conditions. Thanks to the rain and pleasant weather, my garden space is coming alive with plenty of new growth. Here are some garden goddesses that are in smiling bloom.



About to bloom ~ A Red Rose Bud


Pretty in Pink ~ An Azalea (Autumn Carnation)


Golden Beauty ~ The Chrysanthemum


Petal Perfection ~ The Red Camellia


A New Addition to The Garden ~ Tulip Magnolia (Jane)

    Beautiful photos. The lone azalea brought tomymind, a profusion of azaleas, I had seen some years ago at the National Arboretum at Washington D.C.
    As regards the Yellow Beauty, I am not sure it is a chrysanthemum, but it is beautiful. As they say, a rose is a rose.

    Hello Indira,
    Beautiful pictures! your garden is awesome. I am looking forward to the Spring in the pacific NW to start mine :-).

    Years back I had stumbled on your blog via a google search and had been so pleasantly impressed with the content and quality of presentation. When I recently started my own food blog, first thing I remembered was yours and another search led me to your new space but saw you were on a break. Good to see you again, have bookmarked your site and will definitely come back.

    Hi Indira,

    Good to see you back! It must feel wonderful to live with such splendid company. Thanks for posting, brought a big big smile to my face. And reminded me that I’m already late with starting my gardening season this year. (And why I love this blog so much.)

  26. Nandita says:

    Hello Indira,
    I stopped by here to copy your blog url in a post I was writing on completion of six years of blogging. How glad I am to see a post, the last time I checked (to make your Yogurt Upma) You hadn’t posted in a while and I thought, oh no, why hasn’t she been blogging?
    Hope you are doing well!
    Love,
    Nandita

    Indira,

    I love roses. I do a little bit of gardening. Mostly Roses. New Jersey gets so cold, It is hard to do much. You are lucky. I miss the abundance of flowers in India. Would love to see more pictures of your garden.
