New Beginnings!

New Beginnings!

Despite the conditions we are experiencing now, about 32-34°C daytime temperatures without water, many plants and animals continue on with their genetic potential of growing and propagating their own species. A lot of them might be dormant and others are deciduous in response to these conditions, but a few looks very much alive and productive. Earlier, I posted those which responded by producing a lot of flowers like avocados and mangoes, this time i am posting some new vegetative growths, and of course eggs of some butterflies.

  2. Nature is truly amazing in that plants in drought are stressed to the point where all energy goes into the production of the next generation, while the plants themselves whither and die. Even in death, there is beauty. Plants just starting life also have beauty, even those waiting for the right weather conditions in order to thrive.

  3. Your photos are beautiful - made me gasp for more oxygen! Plants are amazingly adaptive - more so than people. I'll send rain your way if you send sunshine and warmth my way!

  7. You celebrated St Patrick's Day on your blog by featuring all these green plants. You captured the details, and I mean the details of what's growing and moving on the leaves. And that's very clever!

    P.S. I have sent you an email regarding your question on no right click.

  16. Andrea, Your very lucky you still have the 32-34 0C there . here is really hard to endure we have 36-38 degrees and it feels like 40 .
    My pump it pumping water for 2 hours for the next day to sprinkle with the greens. Were lucky were next to Tonlesap River.
    Your always have great pictures love it. When i see a new fruit from our garden that we dont see in our home. I would like to share it to you. It always remind me of your beautiful pictures in your blog. I would like to send you the picture. It looks very pretty but it taste so sour that only pregnant women would enjure.
    How can I send you the pic ? maybe you can explore what is the scientific name. I dont see this fruit in our country.

  17. Its amazing that you can spy those tiny eggs on the Caesalpinia pulcherrima. Its leaves are tiny and yet the eggs are so much smaller.
