Petunias are one of the most popular flowers for gardens because of their long flowering period: from spring until frost! They're great for hanging baskets — just know that they need full sun so they won't do well in the shade of a porch.

African Daisy Bush / Euryops chrysanthemoides. |
Native to South Africa, African bush-daisy is a small shrub that grows in a mound-like bush up to 3 ft tall and 4 ft wide. It has dark glossy-green, pinnately dissected, lacy leaves. The leaves are alternate, hairless, about 2 in long, and crowded at the ends of the branches. The cheerful yellow flower heads are daises about 2 in across and borne on thin wiry stalks about 5 in long. Peak flowering is in autumn-winter-spring, but flowers are usually found on the bush throughout the year. The genus name Euryops is derived from the Greek eurys meaning large and ops an eye, referring to the large flowers. The species name chrysanthemoides means resembling a chrysanthemum. The genus Chrysanthemum means gold flower from the Greek chrysos gold and anthemon a flower.
When first introduced to the market, consumers thought the vibrant petals and metallic centers of African daisies were dyed. They bloom quickly after planting and thrive best in full sun. They're also a great choice if you'd like to attract bees.

Millingtonia hortensis/ Neem Chameli |
|
Indian Cork Tree/ Akasha Mallige |
Common Name :Indian Cork Tree
Origin : Burma & Malayan archipelago
Flowering Season : September - October :
Vernacular Name :Akasha Mallige
Brief Description :A glorious tree though it lacks the bright flowers of many ornamental
trees. A lofty tree, grows very tall and straight, the drooping branches laden with whitish
flowers add to the beauty of the tree. The trumpet-shaped flowers are white and borne in
clusters. The flowers have a pleasant fragrance that fills the air. They form a carpet on the
ground during the flowering season. Though the tree drops most of the leaves for a short
period during winter it is never completely bare. The bark of the tree has deep fissures and
is used as cork, hence the common name. The flowers are thought to be pollinated by
nocturnal insects. Even if one has to go a little out of the way to see this tree in bloom, it is
worth the while. It should not be difficult for anyone with a good nose to locate these
trees when in bloom! Like Parijata it blooms in night and sheds during morning. Flowers give very pleasant smell. The leaf is imparipinnate and resembles that of the neem.
The white flowers come as large Panicles which emit a pleasant fragrance. They are bisexual and zygomorphic The bell-shaped sepals of the flower have five small lobes. The flower has four stamens with parallel anthers unlike in most other plants of this family where the anthers are divergent. The corolla is a long tube with five lobes.
Uses
The tree is considered ornamental and the pleasant fragrance of the flowers renders it ideal as a garden tree. The wood is also used as timber and the bark is used as an inferior substitute for cork. The leaves are also used as a cheap substitute for tobacco in cigarettes.
