The OCD is back, albiet with a sweet scent...


The very sturdy and stately "Royal Trumpet Vine" a regular in my monsoon albums, the first to greet me...





Wispy "Pink Cosmos" swaying in the breeze...







Tall spires of purple "Salvia" highlighted in the soft glow of the setting sun...






There, now we're taller than you...!!





Bright n' crisp "Helichrysums" commonly called Everlasting flowers, spreading a unique beauty that's there to last...
Keeping up with their name, these blooms get prettier n' prettier as they dry on the plant and last for a very long time... These yellow/pink/mauve/white flowers are popularly used in potpourri and dry flower arrangements.











Fields of delicate "Lady's lace/Queen Ann's lace" with a scent as subtle as subtle can be, adding a pretty Victorian touch...






Ah, nostalgia... One for old time's sake...





Playing peek-a-boo through a pretty tangle of strikingly coloured "Dwarf Cosmos"

The garden in front of the University tower is bursting with colourful blossoms. The evening air was thick with the sweet scent of these pretty blooms gleefully bobbing their heads in the faint glow of the setting sun. And, my erudite muse looked on with pride...

This surely calls for another walk in the morning, when these beautiful flowers smile as they patiently wait for the gentle warm touch of the rising sun...
