Seasonal flowers

Added one more seasonal flower called Kavthi Chapha (कवठी चाफा ) in मराठी


One more seasonal flower.
This flower is so beautiful that one has to see it. The petals are soft and shiny. The shape is beautiful. The fragrance heavenly BUT it has such a short life. It blooms by 10 at night and by early morning it has closed its beauty and withered away. It is called Brhamakamal in Marathi, I think it is a type of cactus / succulent called Nopalxochia as it is a night flower and the day flower is called Epiphyllum which also comes in a very beautiful shade of red. I wish I can get it from somewhere to add to my collection of seasonal flowers.

Monsoon Magic

The Monsoon came with a lot of thunder and lightning. Thought it would rain heavily but alas! It has stopped after a few showers. Hoping it will comeback soon. But with the first showers the Monsoon Magic of nature was seen as it is every year.
Here are some pictures of flowers that bloom after the first monsoon showers.
