As time flies we try to prepare the small roof top pots with soil, manure and seedlings. The race with time is same as with everything else. You always feel, wish we had started earlier. Anyway, luckily some of our permanent trees have come up with their colours and the last white, non-scented jasmines also fill their shrub tree. Some of the decade old bougainvillea bushes bearing all your happiness and sorrows also start to bloom at this time while the new ones just start anew, including the yellow allamanda seedling, in the freshly prepared soil. So this is a season for both young and old and ofcourse the seasonal collection!!! Of the seasonal plants the budding 'mums' are the first to open up too, the whites and off-whites paving the way. It's lovely to watch how the 'mum' varieties bud and burst into their colours in an enthusiastic, ecstatic and overwhelming manner hiding their tiny plants. Just look at the burst of yellow as it brings its glow!! And slowly how they end up in glass vases in your home bringing with them their simple warmth and brightness to your homes!.
