GBBD April-2009

Mid April is a season of mixed blessings here in Indiagrden. The spring blooms are ebbing away and summer annuals are gradually showing up. It is a cauldron of gifts from both the seasons which I display here as a part of GBBD post started by Carol of Maydreamgardens.Petunia Chincherinchee Rose Crape jasmine Dahlia Brunfelsia americana Hibiscus Hollyhock Easter Lily Gladioli Gaillardia Plumbago BouganvilleaThese are the babies I nurtured over the late winter and spring season. Some of them will not survive the harsh summers and will be replaced by their summer cousins. Winter, spring or summers, it is a show which goes on; the characters change but the show goes on….

    Lovely...I remember my first summer gardening here (over 20 years ago) I fell in love with Brunfelsia americana. They called it Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow... Does it have a tiny bit of fragrance? That's what I remember! gail

    Gaillardia and dahlias are amazing! Bouganvillea is one of my favorites, but we have to grow them in pots here, and move them inside during the winter.

    Your flowers look great - by the way I have added your blog to my blogroll. Your Brunfelsia is interesting - I have Brunfelsia too and it will start blooming from now onward here in Japan, but the color changes from a bluish purple to white. I also bought Gaillardia seeds when I visited India in Feb and have planted them in pots. I miss the fragrant flowers of India!

    Your gladiolus is beautiful. Do all your bougainvillea look that good? Mine look pretty bad after the March winds we get here.

    As always, your blooms are lovely. I've never seen a Rose like that Pink and white. Great photos, as always, GT.

    Beautiful blooms, I specially like the white hibiscus. I have a brunfelsiaa americana in my garden that I love dearly, the aroma is second to none

    The cauldron of gifts from the garden appears to be overflowing, Green Thumb! They're all beautiful but the white hibiscus is especially graceful.

    Happy Blooming Day - hope things don't heat up too fast for you.

    The white hibiscus is lovely. We have a lot of them around Southern California, but I don't think I've ever seen a pure white one.

    So many flowers !!
    Stunning !!
    Can't pick my favorite.
    You've reminded me that only a few of my hollyhock have germinated.
    Hollyhocks tend to get rust disease in my garden :(

    Gosh! You have many wonderful blooms there :)

    I particularly like your chincheree and the bougainvillea, as I don't have those in my garden :)

    Beautiful flowers! Love the Dahlia. Most of my flowers are done, but the cacti is blooming and will for the next few weeks. Then...really hot!
