Autumn is slowly coming into progression after long monsoon phase has taken back seat this year. Although temperature for this season is on higher side which has lead to extended blooms of summer and monsoon season.

Spectacular Water Hyacinth Blooms

This week started on a thrilling note as it was the first time my Water hyacinth plant bloomed in my garden .I must say it is one of the most rewarding blooms as an aquatic plant beside water lilies.

                                                                    

The unique appearance of these flowers has  only one petal which has feather like mark imprinted  on it among all other petals  as you can see in the picture below                                                               

Although this flower does not much resemble to the blooms of Hyacinth grown through bulbs but both have some resemblance in their buds
