Floral Welcome for the new year (Decade)

Dear IBC,

Here is wishing everyone a Very Happy, Bright, Prosperous and Memorable New Year(and Decade) filled with Lots of Beautiful Trees.

I also share with you pics of flowers I had the privilege of photographing during my last week's holiday to a place called Kodaikanal in south India. It is a hilly place and a famous tourist spot. Being at a high altitude, it is natural to see, Pines, Cedars, Azaleas etc here. Though Spring is technically a month away, this place was starting to bloom and I was only too fortunate to be there to see these beautiful flowers.

Fantasy Palm


Azalea


Pointsetter (not a flower acutally)


And a host of flowers whose names I am not too sure











Here is a Literati inspiration of a Cedar again photographed in Kodaikanal


And here are two Forest/Group Planting/Yose-ue inspirations from Kodaikanal



Hope you find the pics enjoyable and inspirational

Regards
Ravi
