Hello 2016!

Namaste friends. I hope 2016 has begun in a wonderful way for you. Time seems to be flying and I cannot believe we are already on to the sixth day of the new year!

I am going to open Blog 2016 on a beautiful note, or maybe I should say floral note :)
On Sunday hubby and I visited the Ahmedabad Flower Show which is an annual event. In spite of the fact that we have been in this city for five years this is the first time we went to the flower show. It was a wonderful experience and we are going to make it a point to attend it in future.

Please note this post is heavily laden with photos and may take a while to open. On the bright side, I let the pictures do the talking which means very little jibber jabber from me...haha. (Okay, okay...I heard that sigh of relief.)

The Beetle turned out to be the favourite of the kids participating in an on the spot painting competition :)

  1. Lovely photos!! We had a home gardeners fair here in December. I got some plants and planters. We had similar small succulents, I got two, I wanted those for a long time and couldn't find the right ones in nursery.

  4. What a great start to the new year...visiting this wonderful flower show! A great thing to look forward to each year too! I really enjoyed all the photos. So lovely to see all the colourful and pretty flowers and I would have been browsing those beautiful vases and pots! Not much colour here in England and it won't stop raining although I did notice some daffodils coming into bloom at the bottom of our hill...they're out far too early because the weather has been so mild this winter.
