Blooming Friday!

Welcome to the last Blooming Friday of this month. I got these
images from my recent journey. Since all the plants are still
in bloom, I'm posting these photos.Only the last two images are
fom my garden.

To see what's blooming around the world today, please visit our
gracious host Katarina at Roses and Stuff.






Since Guwahati lies in a river valley the moment you leave the
city behind, you cross green or golden (depending on the season)
rice-fields. And on the edge, there are swarms of dragonflies and
damselflies. These pretty blooms belong to the Arrowleaf Pondweed.
These aquatic plants simply thrive in low-lying areas.










The green of the rice-fields looks so refreshing.






At my parents' the pretty flowers of the Cypress Vine has
started to bloom. The fern-like leaves have such a delicate
look. These re-seed easily and once you plant them, they remain!






A hibiscus has a visitor.






The lavender bloom of the Peacock Ginger.






A bitter vegetable. I don't know what it's called in English.
The leaves, the flowers resemble the eggplant's. The tiny round
fruit turns yellowish orange when ripe. Only the fruit is
consumed.






Not blooms but I thought these berries of a common weed
growing in the backyard look lovely.





On the roadside, more wild blooms. These are the red flowers of
Leucas aspera. The white variety is more common, and edible. I'm
not sure about the red ones, though.






My four o'clocks are blooming again after a lull. There are white
ones and yellow ones too. But I didn't get their photos because
they take longer to 'wake up' and they go off to sleep early! But
for these dark pink (wide-eyed) ones it's party time, mostly!!!






A view of my potted four o'clocks on the terrace.

I hope you liked going through these photographs. I wish you all
a wonderful weekend!
