This is the garden of the Jahaj Mahal or Ship Palace in Mandu.

    What a backdrop! Breathtaking photos! I love that mussaenda. The white bracts (mussaenda frondosa) are what we usually see around here. That colour is gorgeous! The Jahaj Mahal gardens look really nice.

    The first flower is especially beautiful and so unusual. Only a week until I will start seeing India's gardens for myself. In six months, I hope to explore so many of them! It would be a special pleasure should our paths cross!
