I returned to Seattle yesterday, but I still have at least one more flower from the Amritapuri Gardens to share!


I returned to Seattle yesterday, but I still have at least one more flower from the Amritapuri Gardens to share!


My friend Nigama showed me a beautiful flower in front of the cafe this morning.

As always, I am fascinated with the blossoms of a Naga Linga tree in Amritapuri.

To learn more about the tree and to see the photos I took of it last year click here.
I love having an opportunity to share photos of flowers in Amritapuri. Thanks Cee!

September 7 Flower of the Day Challenge
Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge caught my eye. That is a good challenge for me to participate in while I am staying in Amritapuri!

It has been fun to see what the native plants we picked to put in our Greenbelt site become. I have loved watching the Nodding Onion grow. This week I noticed that some of the plants had flowered.

I wonder how big they will get.
I looked up nodding onion (allium cernuum) on wnps.org (Washington Native Plant Society) and learned that they are clumping plants that may grow 16-20 inches tall. WNPS says the plant normally flowers in May or June; Wikipedia says July or August. They will develop black seed heads that will last all winter. For more information about nodding onion click here and here.
