The colours of summer!







We have a garden of croton plants, giving an exuberant colourful look, which might be the most noticeable plants, during this time of summer.  As they survive with little attention, it is a popular plant in many gardens, when a colourful look is what one looks for. 

With pruning once a year, when the monsoon sets in, these plants return to their foliage rich appearance in about six months. When they re along a compound wall or a walkway, their presence adds a festive look. 

The colourful leaves are their flowers. 

That is what makes these plants separate from others. They compensate for not bearing flowers, by turning their leaves to be colour rich with designs and blend of colours which bring an adorable look!

In  a conversation with professional colleagues yesterday, I realised how children bring out their colourful perception through their drawing. 

A garden of colours gives a rich expression of colours!


The colours in a garden are surprisingly visual friendly!
