buds & blooms!
Category: nature's marvels | Posted: Sat Feb 05, 2011 6:56 am well, today, let me post some of my anthuriums. the pink one took about 10 days to reach the stage A5. same time with red one also. Ever wonder how the buds are folded and kept tight before it blooms full? i love how the lantana flowers are folded when they are buds. beautiful. compared with that, anthurium folds are simple. i read in the reader's digest about a professor who holds a doctorate in origami - mathematician Eric Demaine (rd - december issue) he teaches the mathematics of folding paper. ok, here are my flowers -

another start, Uh!
Category: nature's marvels | Posted: Thu Jan 20, 2011 5:20 am hello, few days ago, i started writing. then i uploaded a picture - or i tried to. but i had to resize the pic. the camera is a new one, i am just getting the hang of it. hence the title. a very belated happy new year to all out there in gs. it is time for a lot of flowers in the garden, i have not been able to do much this time, since we had our grandson here for a few weeks. they have gone back, and i feel a bit lost in the house. some of the latest pictures i have taken from my garden.

new entry
Category: thoughts & plans | Posted: Mon Nov 08, 2010 6:33 am wow! i can't stop myself from writing today, because i am so happy. we have a new addition to our family. my son and daughter in law have given us a baby boy yesterday. he has come a bit early but both mother and son are well. i am looking forward to seeing him. i am not sure which is more thrilling - to become a mom or a grandma. the thought of becoming a child again is more exciting when it is is a grandchild. no pictures yet.

monsoon blues!
Category: thoughts & plans | Posted: Sat Jul 17, 2010 1:16 pm hello everyone! it seems by not writing in, i am letting a lot of people down, specially myself. there are hundred and one reasons for not writing. someone recently said to get off the 'buts', and so i am trying to keep the excuses away. monsoon is here and everyday it is raining, wet all around. and with that colds, cough and fever everywhere. anyway the plants are getting a little more of the soak. some plants are taking it very bad. i got some anthuriums from our horticulture office this time - some scheme to help out the farmers. since i don't have a large plot, i cannot get a lot. they are mixed plants so i have to wait till they flower to see what have come to me. i feel bad if i don't put in a picture or two. sorry if it is being repeated (my camera is on strike)

this is the yellow one
Category: nature's marvels | Posted: Tue May 11, 2010 6:51 am this is better than explaining. days are very hot but there is some amount of rain at night to cool a little. but it is so humid, i feel drained of all energy. well, there are a lot of flowers and i feel so happy to be in the garden. there are lots to do before the monsoon starts here.

beautiful
Category: nature's marvels | Posted: Tue Apr 13, 2010 5:41 am I was not able to get this flower fully bloomed. so here it is. 
is it a cactus? ( photo / image / picture from greenfairy's Garden ) 
( photo / image / picture from greenfairy's Garden ) many of the plants have their flowers now, it is really delightful in the garden. still, the foliage is so refreshing. the temperature is soaring, and we still haven't got the usual rains of the summer. lots of cases of sun burn in the country. but we are very fortunate to have water in the well and the greenery around. blessings in abundance.

cats & dogs
Category: thoughts & plans | Posted: Wed Mar 31, 2010 5:49 am can someone tell me how to keep the cats & dogs out of my garden & lawn? it is becoming such a nuisense. last night there were 5 or 6 on the lawn. and it looks like it went through a hurricane. you know, i have a small tub with some guppies in the yard. i used to keep it closed with a net because i had seen stray dogs come to drink water from that tub. it was left open last night, and this morning i find the rim of the tub has been chewed off. and there are so many cats who want to come into the house. one was inspecting my fish tub this morning, so i have to keep it closed again the whole time. i don't mind cats & dogs, but i don't like them making a mess. they jump the compound wall, sqeeze in through the gate, any way it can, it gets in. ok, enough of complaints. i found thid gorgeous flower yesterday, i do not know the name, the plant has long leaves, lots of thorns, flower stays only for a day.
