Parijata

We had a Parijata tree in our garden at Bhadravati home ...simple peaceful looking flower with a mild fragrance. The pictures below are shot at Prof. A R Desai's house at Dharwad.

Delicately balanced Parijata flower

This was interesting to shoot. I had to climb a chair to come within range for my cell phone camera.



The small Parijata tree at Appanna Uncle's place is full of flowers. It's a nice sight to look at. The six-petalled flower is so simple with just white and orange yet so beautiful. Simplicity is beauty.

This is one of the many flowers used for poojas in Indian traditions.

More Rains

It's been raining for the last 4 days. Now, it does look like rainy season.

Ganja Plant

Growing steadily....



I just wish nobody steals the plant. I want to watch it till it flowers.
