Spring Blossoms: A Colorful Photo Tour

Today we got out early for our morning walk and everywhere we turned, there was a riot of colours, signalling the onset of spring. Our condominium’s horticulture team has done an outstanding job of placing flowering plants in every small patch of green.

In 2002, I went to the UK for the first time. Everywhere I went, I saw beautiful hanging pots with these flowers in every colour possible. I am not a gardener, despite having a green thumb because travel takes precedence ! Plants do not survive … and we don’t have a plant creche :). Maybe that’s a business idea for some youngster. Build a plant creche in condominiums.

Enjoy the photo tour of our condominium –

Even more Bougainvillea…

According to The Mother (Aurobindo Ashram), Bougainvillea is a flower that keeps you safe. My mother would always pluck a few of these flowers to put on the dashboard when we set out on our road trips.

Here is a pic of Mummy with her favourite Bougainvillea flower at a Petrol Pump, Yavatmal, on March 25, 2024. This was during our return trip from Coimbatore last year.

Flame of the Forest Tree
This is the Flame of the Forest tree that’s outside our condominium, but it’s so pretty !! So included it in my photo session

I have always been partial to the flame of the forest tree … the entire tree turns into flowers during spring. I have a few pics of this tree from our trips to Uttarakhand. Will find them and do a separate blogpost only on this tree.

Wanted to share a couple of pics from Nalagarh and Coorg …. especially the Coffee flowers from Coorg are not found in Gurgaon or Delhi NCR.
