I like your flower photos with the rain drops. Soothing.
You certainly have alot of blooms right now! I'm glad you are enjoying your rain. :-)-- Randy
Rain is always something to be celebrated where I live in the desert. The poem communicates this so well as does your photos :-)
This is an amazing post. Your babies look soooo happy covered in the luminous rain drops. (The poem was perfect for your photos, too!) Thank you for sharing your awesome garden with us. Blessings!!
Ah, the rain is so lovely! Your plants are looking like they think so too.
Incredible photographs!
Your blooms are looking lovely!
Really nice posting all round, Chandramouli!
What a very interesting poem, and beautiful pictures. I'm glad you are enjoying the rain! :)
Wonderful rain shots!!! The first is just gorgeous!
Hello Chandramouli! If the rain keeps that up, you won't be able to move for all the lush green growth on your plants :D
The poem and pictures match perfectly, which is fun to watch. You are singing in the rain but I am crying in the rain. Thunderstorms and daily rains destroyed a few of my darling plants. Here's a song for you:
I saw raindrops on my window,
Joy is like the rain.
Laughter runs across my pain,
Slips away and comes again,
Joy is like the rain.....
I learnt this song at a Methodist missionary school.
So glad to see you have had some rain, Chandramouli. Your plants look so happy!
Enjoyed the poem. A funny story--I copied a poem from a website I often use for one of my posts, and the poet contacted me. Apparently, his poetry was still under copyright. He was very nice about it, though; since then I've been careful about what poems I include, though I think most writers would appreciate the extra exposure.
Gardener on Sherlock Street: Thank you :)
Randy and Jamie: It's been a week now since that wonderful day has gone by. I doubt if it'd rain until late July.
Noelle: So you do understand how precious rains are! Thank you :)
Marion: Thank you, Marion. I wish against hopes that another rain blesses them soon.
Tina: Oh, yea! They loved it and many plants started giving out buds after rains.
Toni: Thank you, Toni :)
Jamie: Thank you
Rebecca: Thank you, but I wish the rain lasted for another day!
Dani: Thank you so much
gippslandgardener: It never lasts more than a say or two here so, I wouldn't have to worry about not getting lush green.
Autumn Belle: I wish it doesn't get bad for you. I just wish some of that rain came here to cool my plants down from this scorching heat.
That's a lovely poem! Thanks a ton!
Rose: LOL! They did, after the rain, Rose, thank you.
Hello
This rain post is so lovely! Soon our rainy season will set in. You know that I've long wanted grow jasmines and I've been told that they'll be available in June or July. Hope I'll get Arabian Jasmine 'Maid of Orleans' !! But I'm not sure....
Hi Chandramouli, I too hope your weekend is going great! I clicked on your profile and it said it was not available. Did you know that? It was odd as I'm not used to this happening. You have super rest of your weekend.
Thank you, Sapphire :)
Good luck finding it. I hope you also get Belle of India or better, Grand Duke Of Tuscany which is extra-beautiful. They're easy to grow with Phosphorus rich fertilizer and LOTS of sun.
Tina: It was a busy weekend, Tina. I'd have liked to work in my garden space better [SIGH].
I don't know how it changed - my profile status. Something must have happened when I changed the template... Hmmm.... I fixed it now. Should work alright. Thanks for pointing it out to me.
Have a great week ahead!
Beautiful photos, I can almost smell the Maid of Orleans Jasmine, one of my favorite plants. Where I live it must be taken inside for the winter.
Very nice, rain, poetry, pictures. It rained here too today, quite a downpour for a while, and I felt the earth was happy.
Your flowers look very happy to have rain. It really seems to make everything grow practically overnight after a period of no rain.
I thought of you when I planted the Bachelor Buttons seeds this week. I'm trying a new one this year.
You have a lot of healthy looking plants there. I woke up to some light rain this morning. It was the first in over a week. I'm smiling from ear to ear! Since I've started gardening seriously, rain went from gloomy to happy life. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed your garden pictures very much. Im very sure the fragrance from the lilies & the jasmine would have smell very refreshing during this time.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Glad to be back
with this handsome
format, easy, warm
to the eyes!
Your blog is
as usual, an oasis...
No reply of my mail!! :( :(
You have quite a diversity of plants pictured here. You're right about the rain...what a precious commodity it can be!
Oh! with these lovely photographs I am sure the author would have been flattered to lend his poem for use. I wish I could sing the same; the summers are killing us.
Your plants are looking great...nice poem....rain is a good thing! Sugar Melon, you mean watermelon?
Look at all that nice rain!
Is your Oleanders poison there like they are here?? They are so pretty in bloom especially to use them as privacy, but I am so afraid because of all my pets.
Ann
Ah, what beautiful blooms. Once I really got into gardening, rain became my friend.
Chandra,
Very pretty, and the flowers match the poem so well. As for my Salvia, it's just for joy. The culinary sage is from Europe. Though the white sage is used by American Indians for incense, we have not tried that yet.
