There are no Malavi in the next tub along, the pink one which was the first Nirmali gave me. It was set against the ehala tree, which is about parallel with the croton bush, so the tub is further north than the other one, and to the west. I tried to have lotuses there, but failed as I have noted, ...
What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today? This is a pair of gold earrings gifted to me by my parents when I was 13 years old. So it is the oldest thing I am wearing today.
I have showed orange and pink roses on the balcony in the last two weeks and I move now to the red ones. The two bushes with red roses also did well in April. The little bush in the little bed against the west wall abutting on the staircase produced two blossoms together, which is unusual, and I show these ...

Last week I showed the orange roses on the balcony, on three bushes in the first two beds I set up there. In between the two orange bushes in the long bed in the east, there is a small pink one, which has been producing blossom after blossom. I last it in March, just after I had got back from ...

I have been particularly struck this last month by the shifting shades of the bush in the original bed at the south west corner of the balcony, where for years I had flourishing red roses. The current orange bush has lasted for some months now, whereas a couple of ...
