our shrub in the backyard
never ending blooms!
very cool seed packet i found at a roadside seed seller in chidambaram
my harvest for today's garland
tying on
making my way, pair by pair, knot by knot
final garland
we're lucky to have a large shrub in the back yard that seems to unceasingly produce flowers. i harvested a handful and sat down to begin stringing.
you start by taking two flowers and tying then end to end together with a knot. then you continue to add pairs until you have a full "maram" (as they sell them in the market) or arms length worth.
i was brainstorming on what sturdy and florabundant plants we could use in the bay area to make garlands, any ideas?

This striking plant, also known as Crossandra undulifolia, is a small shrub from the rain forests of southern India and Sri Lanka.From spring to late fall, the flowers—in shades of yellow, orange, and red—rise in twos and threes from upright tufts of green bracts.
