Flowers and Plants - Plumeria Plant, Ixora,Pomegranate and Jasmine
Plumeria Plant.
This plumeria plant has flowers most of the year.
The Flowers have sweet smell.
Ixora Flowers.
A perfect ball like shape. Locals calls them 'iddli flower'!
This flower comes in different shades.I like this type of red
colored flowers. Ixora plants are generally resistant to pests.
They are resistant to mealy bugs.
Pomegranate flower without petals. Even without
petals,it looks beautiful. The pomegranate fruits are
attacked by worms. To prevent this we put cloth coverings
for the unripened fruit.
Jasmine Buds.
The flowers have a good fragrance.
Women use them for hair decoration. We have
three types of Jasmines around our house.
Jasmine Flowers. Another type.
Jasmine plant.
Tips: We use natural fertilizers for the plants. Put some
leaves, grass and weed plants in a shallow pit; Cover
with earth and leave it for three months. Then use this as
fertilizer.

I really like the ixora flowers. I have never seen anything like them before.
ReplyDeleteI agree the pomegranate blossom is beautiful even though it doesn't have petals. The Ixora reminds me of hydrangea, but Ixora has even more of a ball shape. I love the smell of jasmine, we have two kinds at our house.
ReplyDeleteYou have such beautiful flowers. At first I thought the Ixora Flower ball was to perfect to be real.
