Autumn season

 

October had  begun with a rounds of downpour that brought down the temperature and had made the weather  favorable for the onset of autumn which is actually identical to  spring that comes after monsoon  for our region . 

                                                                                

                           The summer blooms and the blooms that occur due to transition from Summer to winter  helps Garden moving on to brighter days.                                                 

                                                                  

Autumn is a process of rejuvenation of Garden after summers and monsoon has passed away, formation of buds on perennials is ubiquitous into the Garden.                                                                         

Autumn is in general a best time to spot blooms from summer annuals and perennials .
