Now that the Monsoon has set in, there is heavy rain every evening in my part of the world. Gardens and parks are lush and green. There are wildflowers on the outskirts of the city. The yellow Rattlepod attracts butterflies and bees.
The Melastoma is called Black Mouth because the mouths of the children who eat the berries turn black for a while!
The Ipomea flower closes as soon as it is pollinated by bees, Conservation of energy!
The East Indian Screw flowers arebrightly coloured and full of nectar. Ants, bees and bumblebees besiege it.
My thanks to the team of
Our World Tuesday, which I look forward to reading every week.
I also thank Mrs.Nesbitt who started
ABCWednesday and the wonderful Roger and his team.

ReplyDeleteHello and welcome to Nature Notes. I am happy to have you. I love visiting other countries and I am a teacher (special education-retired). I wondered with all the rain we have had in NY, if we are too in a monsoon, but of course, it is not the same. Your flowers are lovely and different from what I can grow here, but I do plant for my local pollinators.....Michelle ...

You have gorgeous flowers in your part of the world. Are they as fragrant as they look?

ReplyDeleteSo now I am wondering why would anyone want to eat the fruit of the Black Mouth when they know it turns their mouths black for? Perhaps for the fun of it?
How bright, cheery and colorful. I don't see any of these around Mumbai.
ReplyDeleteHello Lotusleaf! How are you? It is wonderful to see flowers even when it rains all the time. Love your vibrant ipomoea. The colour is wonderful! Best regards, Stephanie
