There has been some relief from the intense heat thanks to some very welcome showers. Not only have the little drizzles managed to bring the temperature down but they have also ensured adequate hydration for the parched plants; for some reason (wo)manually watering the plants never replicates the magical effect rain-water has on them.
So 15th May, 2008 in Indiagarden finds the Weather a tad less uncomfortable than expected, the plants in the 'pink of their Health'; all ready to be a part of the Blooms day post started by Carol at Maydreamsgarden.The first in the list is Alpinia Zerumbet or Shell ginger.The flower is fiery yellow red inside and cool white and pink outside!! 
Hibiscus is enjoying the warm temperatures to the fullest…
Cestrum Noctrum or the Queen of Night- Aroma is simply intoxicating at night!
Plumeria is imparting a very Hawaiian feel to my garden…
Malphigia Coccigera-flowers are very short lived, they come and go in quick succession during summer days.
Sweet William,Gaillardia with Balsam in the background.
Dahlia still continues to bloom despite the adverse temperatures…very surprising!!
Sedum Morganium showcases its small delicate blooms…I had brought its cuttings from my Aunt’s place in Dehradun.
The frilly Dianthus with its intricate central design is truly nature’s work of art.
The twin blooms of Adenium also called Desert Rose… but one of them is getting sweltered by heat!
