Welcome To Our Garden

Orange cosmos flowers inside a circle
along with the canna indica flowers;
A big smile of welcome at the front entrance.                                                                                                                                             Followed by Pink, red and yellow ixoras,
the fully bloomed harlequin wonders;
Enthrall  butterflies and sun birds
 
Violet, Red and new comer pink Balsums
are the evergreen shrub
 The nonpareil Marvels
 
  Night blooming jasmine flowers
adorn the sideways of the garden;
Meant to engross the moths
 
The bright yellow alamanda,
the heroine of our garden.
Made us fall in love with yellow
 
Glittering stars in the morning,
blaze like the diamonds in red and yellow;
The spectacular magic of sun plants
 
The black night shade plants
bear the inky purple sun berries;
Food for the red vented bulbuls

The Red hibiscus at the corner
attracts everyone's sights
by its innocent grin

The 4'o clock mandharai flowers
unfurl attractive perfumes
and embellish our garden in the evening

Grass green climber braces,
trumpet shaped madevillas,
The small stabs on flowers,
connote attendances of  sun birds
 
  Cutest creepers I've ever seen,
 amidst the tall green grass;
 The metallic blue Verbena
 
Sometimes our old friends Asian Koels
and our migrating friends Brahminy starlings
visit for their breakfast.
 
Mynas sing like parrots
and sometimes imitate Koels;
Mimicry Experts they're
 
Some plants are hostplants
of  the common mormons,  jezebels,
praying mantis and the signature spiders
 
Yellow billed blabbers,
 the king of our garden;
The faithful defender of our home,
none can step in without their consent.
 
Squirrels scamper here and there,
and elegant butterflies in the air
proliferate happiness everywhere

Have you ever seen a place like this anywhere?
To embrace glee, you no need to be a Billionare.
Just Visit our garden, you will feel the real bliss, I swear!
