If you wait a few seconds, Goa's magnificent Dudhsagar falls make an appearance

Tried gathering the material for the sleeves and learnt on the go. Comments?

Look at these huge mogra flowers that bloomed some days back. Heavenly fragrance :-)

Visited after ages, got the same vibes :-)

Chest circumference is ~10 inches. Also, any tips for finishing the facing?

Who else thinks sewing baby dresses is addictive?

Amarylis have been blooming profusely this year.

Used rolling wheel and leaf stitches for this simple hand designed neckline. ❤️

It looks so pretty from a different perspective! ❤️

Aboli, mogra, and hibiscus :-)

Got this red champa or lal chafa as a 1-foot sapling around 7-8 years back. Planted in a \~24-inch pot and waited, and waited.

It has started blooming since three years but the flowering has been profuse only since this year.

It has started blooming since three years but the flowering has been profuse only since this year. There are four more bunches laden with flowers.

This plant is a recent addition and have been researching about its pruning for a bit. Got conflicting ideas about the ideal time to prune online.

Decided to go ahead with the pruning anyhow today (mid-May as opposed to the majority views being Feb/March) as the leaves were quite small and the plant needed a good chance at flowering around August.

There's around a fortnight for new shoots to kick in before it starts raining and then around two months for the growth to settle in.

Pl share your experience with growing harsingar in pots for balconies.

Saw multiple videos and read articles before doing this and passing on the summary :-)

Soil mix

Sand : Compost : Perlite : Cocopeat (used whatever the pot from the nursery had) = 1: 1/2 :1/2 : 1/4

Added one stick of charcoal as well. Added a small spoon of NPK for adenium.

New pot for adenium was around 1.5 inch larger in circumference and around 3 inch deeper. Apparently the depth is less important.

Pushed the caudex (thick part of the stem) up by ~2 inches while repotting. Can notice the faint marking on the stem if looked at closely.

Kept the succulent tray in a corner where I don't need to water other plants frequently.

An update from Mahabali Animal Ashram, Pernem, Goa that melted my heart. The little cutie I had posted about some days back is having a roll. Sharing a recent video. The pup I am talking about is brown with white marks on his face. The other two, especially the white one, are so damn cute too. Kudos to the work Nicola is doing ❤️

So! I put a stone on my heart and accepted that I won't quite read (a majority of these) book. A friend just loved these though and took them all in. She is a voracious reader so my tsundoku guilt is ebbing. 😅

Which book/s from your shelf have you delayed reading so far?

Recently got some fabrics hand printed for hand embroidery. Had a tough time finding this artisan. He had a huge and well-worn collection of butter papers punctured with beautiful designs ❤️
