I visited the January edition of the biannual flower show at Lalbagh botanical gardens, Bangalore. This time the show was made special by the display of some beautiful blooms from Holland, South Africa, New Zealand, Kenya etc. Here are the blooms and birds I saw there...
From the assorted flowers, I especially liked the snapdragons and dianthus...
Dianthus...
Begonia...
Poinsettia...
Chrysanthemum...
The carnivorous Pitcher plant...
Pitcher plants have modified leaves known as pitfall traps—a prey-trapping mechanism featuring a deep cavity filled with digestive liquid...
King protea from South Africa...
Hypericum berries from Kenya...
Pussy willow from Kenya...
An orchid with a lion's face...
Here's a closeup...
Wax flowers from Holland...
Cymbidium orchid from New Zealand...
Alstroemeria Peruvian lily aurea...
Disbuds from Kenya...
Eryngium from South Africa...
Pin Cushion from Holland...
Safari sunset from South Africa...
Petunia...
Poinsettia...
Rose...
Gerbera...
Dahlia...
Micro greens...
Rose-ringed parakeet...
Spot-billed duck...

ReplyDeleteAmazing!Fabulous!As ever!Thanks for sharing such beauty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, flowers are very few here at the moment, too cold Have a good week, Diane
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers. And so colourful. I really like the Spot-billed Duck.
ReplyDeleteoh I would have loved visiting this. Fabulous photos. Wax flower from Holland? It looks suspiciously like the was flower from Australia - an Australian native. Perhaps they have it too. Have a great week and thank you for visiting my blog this week.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, Wax flowers are native to Australia. New Zealand, Kenya and Holland also have it.
DeleteWhere do I start?! The orchids and king Protea never cease to amaze me. The Poisonous Pipe I have seen once in the Huntington Library gardens. It seems every few years they come out with a new variety of the Poinsettia! O all your bird, the couple of green parakeets (?) are so cute! Many thanks for sharing this dazzle of birds and flowers with All Seasons - it was a feast for the eyes! Have a beautiful week!
ReplyDeleteThat's a Rose-ringed Parakeet couple.
DeleteJust loved the post. Awesome flowers, birds. Great photography.
ReplyDeleteEverywhere here is pretty much covered in snow, so the flowers are a very welcome burst of colour.
ReplyDeleteI got excited just reading the title. Love, love, love your flower shots. Nice birds too.
ReplyDeleteThat Spot Billed is so aptly named! Pretty birds....outstanding blossoms! That Pitcher plant is so unique.

Stunningly beautiful photos. Always!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2020/01/saints-among-us.html
So beautiful! Each flower in your wonderful mosaic is perfect and then even lovelier in its solo portrait! Stunning. The birds too, as always, are wonderful. It is interesting that we have many of the same flowers here in Florida that you do, but none of the birds. I wish we did! ....
ReplyDeleteSuch many beautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteMy heavens what beautiful flowers. I have some of the same flowers in my yard but not as pretty as the ones you have pictured here.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteAh...some color for my dreary winter weather day. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAmazing colors of the flowers and birds and it's great to see so much color in the midst of winter.
ReplyDeleteWhat magnificent photos! you are so talented and thank you for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteThe colours of the flowers are so vibrant and I love all the images of the birds. Thanks
ReplyDeleteMagnificent flowers.
ReplyDeleteFlora AND fauna....this was a delight to the senses. How good are the colours of nature. I see mandalas in so many flowers these days.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up for #lifethisweek. Next week's optional prompt is #ShareYourSnaps. I hope you will join in then too. Denyse.
Such a wonderful burst of colour.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images, like rainbows!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing!
Happy WW!
Superb images - and so much colour!
ReplyDeleteThis post is really nice with all these flowers.
ReplyDeleteIn France there are a lot of parakeets with collars now, they are so beautiful.
I discover Indian Spot-billed Duck. Very beautiful.
Wonderful flower portraits and the parakeet is stunning.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and so many vivid colors! I always like orchids, but proteas have a special place in my heart. The king protea is the most stunning. We also have pincushion proteas, so I'm surprised that Holland was featuring them instead of South Africa. Thanks for linking on Amanda's Books and More!
ReplyDeleteWow ! Very beautiful photos !!
ReplyDeleteShijun,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous burst of color! These vibrant shades are sure to wort away those winter blues. Excellent collection! Thanks for visiting & joining my Wild Wednesdays linky party!

ReplyDeleteOh these flowers are so dainty and cheery and it makes my eyes relaxed! I especially love the Phalaenopsys Orchid that looks very pure in white! Oh and that rose was exquisite!

The flower you say is peony is a cabbage - Brassica oleracea.
Thank you so much for the Id. I've updated the same.
DeleteWhat beautiful photographs! The flowers and birds are just stunning - so colourful and gorgeous. I was taken with the pitcher plants. My late Mom used to call them "Jack in the Pulpit" flowers. Thank you so much for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party community, Shiju.
ReplyDeleteYou have captured so much beauty with your lens. Thank you for taking time to share.
ReplyDeleteLoving these flowers and birds from the flower-show. We will feature them on the next Blogger's Pit Stop,
