Flowers for Divali

With Divali, the festival of lights, just round the corner, autumn flowers are lightening up my garden. The golden blooms of the cassia are cascading from the bush in a corner.
The azure flowers of the Himalyan Sage are also blooming in profusion now, attracting bees and butterflies.
Next to the Himalayan Sage are the tiny white blooms of the Snake Jasmine, trying to imitate snow flakes.
The pink Euphorbia flowers throughout the year, but now it is outdoing itself.
The delicate flowers of the Galangal have just started to bloom now.
My thanks to Santilli, Denise, Pupo and Sandy Carlson for hosting Today's Flowers.
Happy Divali to all my Indian friends!

  3. You must have a very lovely garden with so many beautiful blooms! I'm staying in a highrise apartment, so garden at all.Some neighbours do have potted plants outside their home, but not me.

  8. You have some gorgeous flowers growing at your house! I especially like the pink Euphorbia flowers. Each blossom seems to have just two petals which curve around each other, kind of like the yin and yang symbol.
