My hybrid bougainvillea is all set to light up my life!
My fading blooms next to the Masai lady. I used wild grass blooms
from the marsh as fillers.
Fast growing plant, this Jatropha. In a day or two the tiny petals
will open. I've placed it next to an (earthen) container water-
garden.
The reigning Princess of my yard!!

Not only is your garden beautiful w/the glorious pink Bougainvillea that I envy, but your embroidery is very pretty & creative.
I adore your embroidery! So beautiful!

The embroidery is great as are those quotes. I am very interested in your earthen water garden. Looks pretty cool. Do you grow lotuses in it by chance?
Kanak, you really make the world more beautiful with everything you do. Your family must be very proud of you. Keep amazing us!
Kanak,lovely cross-stitch-reminds me of my needle work in the pre-historic ages!But seriously amazing embroidery!
Thank you all for your lovely comments. These are all Ondori designs--that make you want to pick up your needle and thread again...and again!
Tina, the container water-garden is a recent addition. Of late I've been scouring earthenware/ceramic shops and I got this one. I've planted a lotus which seems to be adapting quite well to its new environment. My earlier post titled 'Nocturne' has a photo of this container.
