Bloom Day July 2010

THe Blue Tiger butterflies are invading my garden now. They are on their yearly migration path to the rain forests of the Western Ghats. The yellow Asclepias is one of their favourites.
The pinl rose matches the pink markings on the Nailpolish Bromeliad Neoregalia Spectabilis.

Justicia Carnea is another pink flower blooming profusely now. It does not mind its semi shaded location.


The pale mauve flowers of the Pentas are another butterfly favourite.



The Pyramid Billbergia Billbergia pyramidalis is also flowering in nooks and crannies in my garden. I saw from other blogs that this Bill is flowering in Malaysia too.
To see more blooms blooming all over the world, please visit Carol at May Dreams Garden.
