The colour theme came about because they happened to be blooming at the same time!!<br /><br />NatureStop, glad to know that. The soft pinks does draw you....<br /><br />Birdy, thank you do much for all your kind words. You take amazing photos and provide a lot of details---I'm honoured. So glad to see you here again.<br /><br />Thanks Trudi, I have never planted pentas from seeds. I buy tiny plants and grow them. I don't know how this variety of magnolia will do in my garden. The fragrance was too tempting! Glad to raed your comment about the four o'clock.<br /><br />Sweet bay, thank you for stopping by. The Orange jasmine is wonderful!<br /><br />Thanks Prospero. According to www.flowersofindia.net that's another synonym of the same champa.

Getting to see blooms/views so different from one's own? I feel the same when I visit blogs from your beautiful part of the world.<br /><br />Mildred, thanks. Although I have added other colours (some are yet to bloom), this happens to be my favourite too.<br /><br />Helen, thank you so much! Can't resist photographing the insects!!<br /><br />Mia, how wonderful to read about the crape myrtle in your wedding crown! Thank you for your comment...loved to read it!<br /><br />foto CHIP, thank you for stopping by.<br /><br />Carla, glad you liked the blooms! 'Reliable' is a good word for the four o'clocks. They seem to be a garden staple in most places.<br /><br />Tina, there's no place for (more)trees in my yard. For years I'd thought about the C.myrtles and fought temptation. But this year I simply went ahead. Seeing them in so many blogs and all across the city was too much for me!! Have space, will plant. Never mind if the said space is about a few inches wide only!!! <br /><br />Carol, thank you so much! The Orange Jasmine is indeed wonderful.<br /><br />Susie, I'm so glad to read your comment. This summer, fragrance has ruled my life!<br /><br />@nemonen, thank you for stopping by.<br /><br />NatureFootstep Photo, hope to do that. It's just that the plant was bought from the nursery and it had one bloom only. Will surely post and let you know when the blooms appear again.
