Flora - is a goddess of Flowers and Spring in Roman Mythology, Idun (goddess) in the Norse Mythology, Persephone in case of Greek... and so on, but somehow Brahma (the creator) made Vasanta a male. Winter, Dewy season, Spring, Summer are masculine, whereas Fall and Rainy season are feminine.Chandramouli Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06532146969497878220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3307218647909468785.post-55360160862179756452009-03-29T06:39:00.000+05:302009-03-29T06:39:00.000+05:30It's funny that you call spring Mr. Handsome.

Hope I start it by next week. Thank you. Have a great weekend too.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Petra. The identity of the flower is revealed in the next post.<BR/><BR/>Frances: Great to see that many are interested in the culture and am sure gonna start the other blog soon. Thank you for your great comments :)<BR/><BR/>Tina: Hail, Hail! Thank you :)<BR/><BR/>Raji Muthukrishnan: It IS Adukku Malli, ma'am. Isn't she gorgeous?<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Randy and thank you for encouraging me to start the new blog. Hope it'll be up by next week.<BR/><BR/>Randy Emitt: The flower definitely has a wonderful scent. BTW, the foliage is not that of the flower. They're different plants. The foliage in the first photo is of an unknown plant and the second one is Hollyhock. In fact I never put them there to confuse to to show the arrival of Vasanta with the new sprouts. Glad that it served as a confusing parameter ;)<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Catherine. I so want to grow Gardenia, but its identity is revealed in the next post. Check it out. BTW, can Gardenia be grown in pot? The woman at nursery told me it grows like a huge shrub so am not sure if I should buy it.<BR/><BR/>Gisele: Thank you :) Glad you liked the post. Its identity is revealed in the next post. Check it out.<BR/><BR/>MarionL: Happy Vasanta to you too! Thank you for the blessings. My wishes go all the way to Louisiana too. Have a nice weekend.<BR/><BR/>Kanak: Not sure of the English name of Gandh Raj. The flower's identity is revealed in the next post. Check it out. BTW, as I said, the foliage is not that of the flower.<BR/><BR/>Morning Glories in Round Rock : Its aroma is very sweet, yes. The flower's identity is revealed in the next post. Check it out.<BR/><BR/>My pleasure, Racquel. Hail Vasanta!<BR/><BR/>Thank you :). You guessed it right, Shailaja.

Sowing seeds today sounds like the perfect way to welcome in Vasanta.<BR/><BR/>Wednesday's post was beautiful--seeing the skies and the opening of your passionflower really puts me in a spring mood.
