LIFE AROUND

Gul-e-Abbasi Flowers How many of us have ever listened the name or seen the plant called "Gul-e-Abbasi"? I guess very few of us may be able to recall this long forgotten flowering plant despite the fact that most of us may consciously or unconsciously have seen this speaker shaped light purple flower which was very common in the village in those days.  I myself, well remember my little romances with this otherwise neglected plant; used to grow wildly and in abundance in the meadows, especially on the defense line digged; spanning from and around my as well as the adjoining villages.  My memories attached with this flowering plant is as old as of even before my entering into my teens; when I used to collect stems of Guk-e-Abbasi full of funnel shaped flowers during my solitary walks or along with buddies of my age. I do remember that most of its collections I used to made during my on foot marches on the pathway starting from an "Old Well" heading towar

After completion of your 9 to 5 work routine is is time to breath fresh in your yard and have a look around at your plants. Some may be flowering others getting ready to blossom. My routine is going plant to plant and look their stems, leaves and fruits if any closely. Walking through greenery in the open is always very refreshing experience for me. Here are some of my pics in the yard. Hope you will enjoy
