The suns's heat didn't affect them, infact the first signs of warmth just brought them to this season's first bloom. All the fragrant flowers bloom during the summer-monsoon season blooming at intervals through out the summer monsoon season. But as I mentioned before, this summer's heat has been unique, intense, reaching unusually record breaking high temps, reaching 35-47 degrees Celsius. But the lovely summer whites have made the day. I felt sorry for the blossoms as they would wither away soon. The hot air filled evenings too, without a touch of breeze, yet the evening air was filled with their nostalgic fragrance as usual as if their perfume becoming stronger then the warm air that stood the test of time. These flowers each of them, jasmines, orange jasmines or the other white blossoms that you see here, most have their softness as appealing as their evening fragrance. And this truly is a gift of the tropical summer-monsoon season and simply an enchanting feeling that fills one's heart and soul.
The blending of spring and summer has been amazing this year, as spring was short and summer set in very fast. The air became warm, and the sun's brightness more bold. As the sun's heat and brightness peaked so did the colours, as if becoming bold, ripe and summery. The pleasant spring started to change to bright sunny and warm days. Unlike other years the shift was quick but atleast the flowers remained motivated and you can seen the winter-summer blend as the bougainvilleas became brighter and solid and the other flowers also blossomed bright and blended into the heat filled warm days. Thanks to the winter phlox as they transformed to the summer variety right away and sustained the summer's heat and the petals retained their bright colours that filled the short-stemmed plants and bloomed in their typical clusters of vivid, brilliant and intense hue. And the fushcia plumeria tree was like an umbrella, in full bloom. And the bunches yellow allamanda groups, were stark sun-bright. And the marigolds too continued with their gold, yellow tinge, cheerful and shining.
Although we waited for the spring this year it was very short, just came and went, and so I didn't get a chance to write about it.. May be a night or two felt the spring breeze, then it started to be getting warm, then warmer. Yet the spring colour burst was there and the red, fuschia, pink, all brought a colour-spray effect into nature. And I truly must share this with all my readers. So here it is, it is the burst of spring colours! The bougainvilleas are at their best, and the other flowers, are also competing with lovely pink, purple and magenta shades, ofcourse not forgetting the yellow. Hope you enjoy them.
