ReplyDeleteSuperb!
ReplyDeleteThe lavander coloured flower is called chethi poo in malayalam.i have seen in various colours like red,pink,etc.this should be that one.
ReplyDeleteUr pics are very beautiful. The lavender coloured flower is called idli poo in tamil, chethi poo or kepi poo in malayalam.If possible I will help u find the botanical names of these flowers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mahesh.
ReplyDeleteThanks Preethi. Ya botonical names should be helpful.
Thanks for stopping by my site. I love the Ratnagandhi. I do not think the mystery flower is Lavender. Lavender usually grows from a wood / twig type root and the flowers are not as large as those.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what this year will bring to your garden!
The last flower is not jasmine, it is kakada...
ReplyDeleteThe lavender one is actually called as Pentas or Star Cluster.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very easy plant to grow in the garden.
