Stacked and Clustered~
Any guesses~??

I  love collected dry plant parts- leaves, flowers, seeds, pods, petals, small twigs ....! This one is Auracaria cunninghamii 's leaf, commonly seen in gardens. Also, known as hoop pine.

Clustered~
A morning shot in the green balcony...!

I love collected succulents, cacti and small miniature plants- orchids, ferns, bonsais. I guess I want to have every damn plant in my small balcony garden. Recently, I picked up one more cactus from my Gujarat trip, from roadside.  :)

Whorled~

The leaves of this bamboo (picked from Siliguri market) are initially rolled in a whorl and as they grow out (one by one), the give rise to spiral (criss-crossing leaf pattern) phyllotaxy..! 
Interesting is botany...Isn't it!!

The sleeping botanist in me loves collecting such unique plants. At times, I wish I was working for a botanical garden like Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew ...!

The Season of ♥ begins~

February 1st, 2013
The beginning of the season of ♥

I have completed the 1st month of the Project 365 challenge, traveled to Gujarat (a land where I wanted to go always), went to Gir National Park, met an old friend after 5 years gap, made some new and close friends, entered my 30s, got lots of gifts from family and friends...January has been truly blissful.. :)

Looking forwards for the 28 days of February..!

Towards Light

The leaves always move towards light, in search of light... Lets our souls too do the same.. move towards light of positivity, love and mankind..!

The Miniature figurine of a Giant

Saturdays are weekly offs for me. OMG...! I feel so excited when its Friday morning, I wait for the night to come so that Saturday comes and wish that it never ends. I also wish that everyday should be a Saturday.
Saturdays are special to me.. Reasons..
Shopping, Lazying around, Watching TV and movies, some cooking, and of course gardening, tending the plants and standing in the balcony for hours..!

I love collecting knick-knacks for my small balcony garden.. And this small figurine of the giant was bought last year from a mela..! Made of teracotta, this giant guards my pot and also makes me feel :) . No doubt I am a pseudo-ecologist!

The Art of

Reusing and Recycling...!

I love wine and empty wine bottles. I have been collecting the bottles and use them for planting Ivy plants in my home. If you get to visit my home, you will see them in front of my house, in the bathroom, in balconies and in kitchen also. They add the green colour and life to my home.
