My garden

The balcony garden in my flat.

I got a few pots for the new saplings I got from the Prarthana nursery on Sunday. Some are still in the black plastic pouches, since I need to find more soil to fill the pots.

Apart from jasmine, a whitish pink hibiscus, bougainville with orange petals, I got two ixora dwarf plants with pink and red flowers, verbena with pink and violet flowers, and lantana and some others I dont know the names of.

:) But i also have a maid who takes care of the kids, cooks and waters the plants most often.
I'd have loved a bigger garden but idont have the space nor does the city have the right climate for many plants i fancy. I envy bangaloreans in that.

Nice garden! I recognized some of your plants, and I have some of them too, like the crown of thorns, or the crown of Jesus, the one in front with thorns and red little flowers (mine is also in bloom now).
You ought to take care with the crown of Jesus, because it's toxic - or poisonous (its name is Euphorbia something), and if a thorn pricks your skin, you might get an infection (it happened to me, and it healed very slowly) - take care with the kids too. You may know this, but just in case...
Is the big one an oleander? It looks like one, but I am not sure...
I love plants too, and I also have a lot of cacti.
