   Thank you! The pictures are taken on my iPad! If the light is right, iPhones and iPads do a brilliant job :-)

   The color choices of your flowers speak the international language of bright, happy and smile producing.

   Thank you! Most of these plants are native to the tropical region and tend to produce very brightly coloured blooms :-)

   So pretty Ankita! Can you tell us what flower is in the first photo? It looks like a dianthus, but I'm not sure...

   It is! I have three Dianthus plants, One White, one Magenta and one White and Magenta :)

   Thank you! I'll tell you a secret, that's my favourite plant. I fell in love with the sublime sky blue colour and just had to have it :-)

   Lovely and bright. Thanks. Is that rose Double Delight? My favourite, but I tend to be sentimental - my departed mother's favourite as well. Scent and beauty - double delights.

   Hey QuiltingMamma, it IS a Double Delight indeed. I'm sure your mum blesses you every time you see those roses and think of her :-)

   Beautiful photos! What IS that 3rd plant! Love it!

   It's called "Plumbago". It's a hot weather shrub, so turned out to be very suitable for hot Delhi weather. However, despite being so pretty and such a prolific bloomer, it isn't very popular in India. No idea why.

   Ankita, I really love it when people manage to grow plants wherever they're located. You have an amazing variety in your balcony garden. Great photos, too.

   Thanks Linda! I'm the daughter of a Professor of agriculture who's also an accomplished gardener! My dad is my troubleshooter. And I keep asking him for fixes I can't find on Google :D

   You don't need a large garden to enjoy the beauty and wonderful fragrance that these flowers bring into your life. Thank you for sharing your collection, Ankita!

   I'm very pleased that you enjoyed these pictures, GrannyMay! I have many more but was limited by the requirement of 5-8 pictures :D

    The beauty of gardening is that the opportunities to be surrounded by flowers and foliage is almost limitless... all that's needed is a little space and light. Your balcony must give you so much joy, Ankita, when you step through the doors and are surrounded by beautiful and fragrant blooms.

   user-7008037 04/25/2016

   True words, Sheila! The blooms, the pests, the compost, the earthworms and the lush green foliage are all my own; and there is no greater pleasure than working hard at something and see it reciprocate the love.

   The smell and touch of the earth is so satisfying... lucky you to have it on your balcony. Your neighbors must be so appreciative.

   They are! And very helpful as well when I'm out of town :-) They water my plants when I am not around :-)
