Belated Wishes ye' Horny ones! (Now, don't go wild with your imaginations)

How many times have I told you that I’ve been busy and that I’m lagging behind? Well here, plus one now :D

My sister’s wedding arrangements are keeping me busy and from blogging and reading others’ blogs, but I try my best. So if I haven’t visited your blogs or haven’t replied back immediately here, know that I’m not ignoring ye’all but I’m just busy. I’ll be back with boring and torturing [chuckle] more-frequent posts by June. :P

I know I’m late but hey, better late than never, they say. So, belated birthday wishes to all Arians. Hope it was a great start to you this year.

When you say Aries, no-nonsense approach is the first thing that pops to my mind

Plumbago - Plumbago auriculata - Nîlacitraka

 and I know quite a few Arians and they so fit this description.

Hibiscus - Hibiscus rosa-sinesis - Japâ

Arians expect devotion in friendships and give you a strong support in return.

In a crowd, you’d find that the Arians are lively participants every day.

They’re frank!

Rangoon Creeper - Quisqualis indica

That makes them a great person to know and of course this trait doesn’t help all the time with them as they’d be frank even during the wrong times. [chuckling]

Purple Allamanda - Allamanda blanchetii

Found this beautiful advice while googling and couldn’t help copy-paste it here –

Much as you are the Ram, there is still the little lamb in you, which means that at times you would attain your goals more easily by gently giving in without resistance to the demands of a given social situation, rather than getting your horns entangled in something larger and more powerful than yourself.

Ixora - Ixora coccinea

I wish this year brings you loads of happiness and you find the real you in yourself. Keep searching…

Sure-footed Capricorns!

As I started the last month, I decided to continue to Birthday gift post every month and this month is for the sure-footed Capricorns (Dec 21 to Jan 20).

Many more happy and bloomy returns O’ Capris!

As the sure-footed ones you’re you’ll climb to any height, no matter if you’re threatened by great perils. You’ll cross them all and bunch up to your personal summit!

Butterfly Pea - Clitoria ternatea - Aparâjita

Triumph is for you on the summit.Though looking small, meek, delicate, and reserved, you’re the brave ones who fights against all odds...

Oleander - Nerium oleander - Karavîra

You always keep your heads held high

Desert Petunia - Ruellia brittoniana

Zinnia 'Dreamland Rose' - Zinnia Elegance

Don’t lose your heart though, O’ sure-footed ones, if the outlook seems small!

Chrysanthemum - Chrysanthemum indicum - Sevantikâ

To you, your appearances are important, ain’t it?

Rose - Rosa

Generally being short of stature, you have exceedingly expressive eyes!Hibiscus - Hibiscus rosa-sinesis - Japâ

Look away from your self for the light and you would find it…May this year bring all happiness to you and lead you to your success!Crape Jasmine - Tabernaemontana divaricata 'Flore Pleno'

Greeny and Bloomy 2008

So, the Year 2008 was so bloomy and greeny!

Purple Allamanda - Allamanda blanchetii

Desert Rose - Adenium obesum

Rangoon Creeper - Quisqualis indica (right); Asoka - Saraca indica (left)

Though it was built late in the year (during the summer), Plantville grew up so fast and healthy.

Butterfly Pea - Clitoria ternatea - Aparâjita

Cockscomb Crested - Celosia argentea var. cristata

A lovely splash of colors adorned the mini city, welcoming visitors and growing along with them well.

Mexican Flame Vine - Senecio confusus

Plants are the most adorable pets who reward you well, aren’t they? They do survive a day’s starving and regain back soon with proper attention the next day!Plumbago - Plumbago auriculata - Nîlacitraka

Isn’t that the most positive factor about having Plants for Pets?

Oleander - Nerium oleander - Karavîra

They make no noises, would damage your belongings, don’t need to be walked, and many more attractive factors make them a perfect choice as pets. They in fact cheer you up when you're moody with their beautiful greens and blooms.

Wax Rose - Pereskia bleo

They definitely did for me! I wasn’t content with one and on and on grew their population, crowding the Plantville. Some died and some were thrown out for misbehavior.

Sunflower - Helianthus unknownus :D

Cucumber - Cucumis sativus - Trapushpa

Some were tortured badly by their worst enemies, but always recovered and were grateful to me as ever.

Hibiscus - Hibiscus rosa-sinesis - Japâ

I'm going to talk less today and let you enjoy this year’s cheerful pictures of the denizens of Plantville…
