    It’s going to be a long post, but I hope you won’t mind me sharing this story. I have been attracted to plants since a very young age. I was born in my maternal grandparents’ town, so came directly from the hospital to grandpa’s house, which at the time had a super fragrant garden. When…

    And The Journey Continues…

  • Tiny Garden Updates!

    Hello, everyone! I have a small update from my garden to share with you. It’s the banyan waking up again! But this time instead of shooting leaves from the top, the young tree has grown nodes in places on the long stem, and that’s where the leaves are shooting from. This is the first time…

    Hello everyone! My balcony garden is in such a sorry state that it would be a stretch to call this space a garden anymore. The sun has been off duty since December, and I am blowing a swirl of smoke with every breath even when I am indoors. It is so foggy that you don’t…

  • Botanical Illustrations And Photographs From Old Books

    Since long, I had been meaning to go through my father’s botany books, mainly for inspiration for my new floral sketches and secondarily for tips and tricks on how to keep my indoor plant cuttings in good health. But one fellow blogger made me dig into them sooner than I would have done so, by…
