                           Red-carpeted ground,  the tall maple trees, during Autumn.


There’s something special in the air during autumn. A refreshing autumn breeze that sweeps you off of your feet, chats over bonfires, the falling leaves coloring the ground in shades of orange and yellow and the celebrations that come around the corner during this time of the year. There is no one reason that can cover our love for this season.

The magic in the air and the visuals that make you feel as if you were in a movie- put you just in the right mood when you step out of the house. The rains have just stopped and the petrichor mixes with the smell of all the flowers in full bloom. The weather becomes just the right amount of cool and pleasant during this time and an added cherry on the cake is the multiple festivals and continuous celebrations making autumn a season of joy.

The season begins with Navratri  that brings along with it nine days of worship and oneness and moves on to Dussehra and Durga Puja, celebrated in every part of the country in various unique ways. Diwali, the festival of lights, drops by to dazzle everyone with its beautiful hues and lip-smacking sweets and passes the baton to Christmas during the end. Autumn is officially the season to revive yourself, find yourself and start the new year with a clearer mind and a happier heart.

 Autumn colors the country in all kinds of shades. 





Roses / गुलाब



Red Rose



A classic beauty, shrub roses (also called landscape roses) aren't as much work as you might think. Newer hybrid roses are sturdier, have longer blooms and are more hearty and disease-resistant than the heirloom roses you might be familiar with.

Tuberose / Rajnigandha / Nishigandha /Polianthes tuberosa

                                                     Tuberose / Rajnigandha

Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.)is one of the most important tropical ornamental bulbous flowering plants cultivated for the production of long-lasting flower spikes. It is popularly known as Rajanigandha or Nishigandha. It belongs to the family Amaryllidaceae and is native to Mexico. Tuberose is an important commercial cut as well as a loose flower crop due to its pleasant fragrance, longer vase-life of spikes, higher returns, and wide adaptability to varied climates and soil. They are valued much by the aesthetic world for their beauty and fragrance. The flowers are attractive and elegant with a sweet fragrance. It has long been cherished for the aromatic oils extracted from its fragrant white flowers. Tuberose blooms throughout the year and its clustered spikes are rich in fragrance; florets are star-shaped, waxy, and loosely arranged on a spike that can reach up to 30 to 45 cm in length. The flower is very popular for its strong fragrance and its essential oil is an important component of high-graded perfumes. ‘Single’ varieties are more fragrant than ‘Double’ types and contain 0.08 to 0.14 percent concrete which is used in high-grade perfumes.
 The fragrance of flowers is very sweet, floral, and honey-like and can help give emotional strength. The flower spike of tuberose remains fresh for a long time and finds a distinct place in the flower markets.

Verbena bonariensis /  Lantana Family


These tiny beauties flower profusely until the first frost, brightening beds, borders and hanging baskets even in part shade. They'll even tolerate the hot, dry summer days in the South leading up to a cooler fall.

Lantana's aromatic flower clusters (called umbels are a mix of red, orange, yellow, or blue and white florets. Other colors exist as new varieties are being selected. The flowers typically change color as they mature, resulting in inflorenses that are two- or three-colored.

Some species are invasive, and are considered to be noxious weeds.The spread of lantana is aided by the fact that their leaves are poisonous to most animals and thus avoided by herbivores, while their fruit is a delicacy for many birds, including the yellow fronted white eye of Vanuatu the superb fairy wren  in Australia, the scaly breasted munia, and the Mauritius bulbul in the Mascarenes; these distribute  the seeds and thereby unwittingly contribute to the degradation of their home ecosystem.

Hardy Fuchsia 


If your garden needs a burst of color, look no further than hardy fuchsia, which is also referred to as fuchsia magellanica. Keep in mind that the right soil — not too dry, moist or hot — is key for this type of flower.




Dusty Miller 



This fluffy silver plant, which is also known as Jacobaea Maritima, would make for an unexpected addition to your garden. Give it full sun and keep it well-drained to stay healthy.

                                                               Chranthium White

The quintessential fall flower, you can pick up a dozen at the grocery store. Set the pots in bright, indirect light and water consistently throughout autumn. To keep 'em blooming (and looking neat), cut off buds as they wilt.


Merrygold / गेंदे का फूल



Brassy and warm marigolds are easy to grow and popular since they're in bloom for most of the season. They like full sun and can withstand hot summers, so they're a good option if you live in an area where scorching summers can extend into the fall (looking at you, Texas).

Violas / Violet Flowers /  बनफशा का फूल




These perennials bloom in the summer and return in the fall to add purple pops to your warm-toned garden. They're fast-growing and the flowers are edible, too. Violas like moist and acidic soil, so a peat-based potting mix or adding peat moss into their soil is best for the plant.

Petunias 

                                                                         Petunia

                                                                      Petunia

                                                                  Petunia

                                                                  Petunia




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. Petunia seeds are very small, almost resembling dust, so it might be easier to get a start from a nursery.

Hydrangeas 


These elegant perennials start blooming early to midsummer and can survive a winter freeze.Their papery flowers come in a number of varieties, including pink, purple, blue and white (the acidity of your soil often dictates the color of your blooms). They're easy to cultivate and do best in partial shade.

African Daisies 



African Bush daisy/ Paris Daisy/ Sunflower family/Euryops chrysanthemoides./


    
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.



Blanket Flowers 



Commonly named for how they spread out and "blanket" an area, blanket flowers are richly colored daisy-like flowers in warm shades of yellow and red. They thrive in full sun and poor soil, so you don't need to fertilize them as long as the soil drains well.

Floss Flower 




These tiny blooms resemble frilly pompoms and come in blue, purple, red, white and pink. New flowers grow over the old blooms so they always look freshly bloomed too. They bloom best in full sun.

Straw Flower


The bright yellow, button-shaped blooms are nearly as beautiful as the silvery-green foliage. This pick is perfect for hanging baskets, where both the blooms and the stems can be displayed. Though they can tolerate partial shade, they won't bloom as much as full sun exposure.



Black Eyed Susan 

Bright yellow, daisy-like black-eyed Susans can act as annuals, biennials or short-lived perennials. They're drought resistant, but respond well to an occasional watering. They're known to attract pollinators, so expect butterflies and bees!

Balloon Flower 



As its name suggests, these gorgeous flowers — which can be found in shades of blue, white and pink — resemble hot-air balloons before they blossom. While they do well with full sun, they can also thrive in partial shade.



Goldenrod 



Goldenrod is a striking weed-like plant that favors full sun and soil that's well drained. But beware if you suffer from allergies, as their pollen can cause a runny nose and itchy eyes.



Sumac 
Rhus glabra



With well-drained soil, these hardy red flowers can grow up to 30 feet tall. They're available in a slew of varieties, so you're sure to find the perfect type to add visual interest to your garden.



Amaranthus



Amaranthus produces gorgeous tassel-like flowers each fall that look great in arrangements — both fresh-cut and dried.


Celosia cristata / Cockscomb



Also known as cockscomb, Celosia cristata produces crested flowerheads several inches wide well into autumn. Its relative Celosia plumosa, on the other hand, produces feathery-like plumes — another fall favorite.

Dahlia


Certain varieties will keep on blooming' from mid-summer into fall. Pink orange- and red-tinted varieties for autumn bouquets, but dahlias come in just about every color under the sun.

Cornflower 



You'll love these bright-blue beauties as much as the birds and butterflies do. Plus, they can adapt in full sun or full shade. For continued flowering, deadhead spent blooms.


Pansies / बनफूल





Pansies can't tolerate heat, but they can withstand the winter. Plant 'em at the end of summer and they'll bloom until a hard frost. Then expect to see their vibrant hues pop up again in the spring.

Sunflower / सूरजमुखी का फूल





They may peak mid-summer, but most sunflowers will keep shooting up, up, up even as the weather cools. Harvest when the seeds start to turn brown, or the backs of the seed heads turn yellow. You'll have to beat the birds to them, however.


Canna Lily 



                                                                         Canna Lilly

                                                                     Canna Lilly
                                                                 Canna Rosita
                                                                        Canna Lilly

The tropical flowers and lush leaves reach up to 8 feet high and can dazzle from May until October, depending on the type and place. Plant dwarf varieties in containers and bring them inside over the winter to enjoy them year-round.

Cosmos 


Your kitchen will never go without flowers if you plant a bed of pink cosmos. They make for great bouquets from spring until first frost. Bonus: Finished blooms can self-seed in your garden for even more stems.

Gomphrena globosa



If you struggle with dry or clay soil, give this drought-resistant species a try. Gomphrena globosa generally grows about a foot tall and lasts until frost sets in. Just note, they do prefer full sun.


Witch Hazel
Witch Hazel / Hamamelis vernalis


Yes, you get attractive dark-green foliage in the summer, but autumn and winter are when this popular shrub really shines. Spidery witch Hazel  flowers will often bloom way past the time other trees and bushes drop their leaves.

Dianthus 


The genus name comes from the the Greek words dios, meaning divine, and anthos, meaning flower. Extremely fitting, no? Plant them in full sun and cut them for long-lasting bouquets and continued blooming.

Rudbeckia 


These sunflower-like beauties will love the brightest spot in your garden. Sow the seeds directly in the soil at any point in the summer to get some splashy autumn blooms.




Helenium 


They don't just look pretty, Helenium blooms also repel deer and stop rabbits from munching on other flowers in your bed. They do best in full sun, but can typically tolerate partial shade.

Ornamental Peppers 


These are necessarily a flower, but the red, purple, yellow and orange peppers are just as beautiful. Fair warning that you shouldn't try to eat these, as they're especially spicy

Perennial Sage 

Blue Salvia Flower

It has sturdy (and aromatic!) stems. The flowering spikes also come with gorgeous silvery foliage to boot. The deep purple spike-shape blooms attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.

Japanese Anemone

Autumn reds and oranges look great and all, but you won't mind seeing a splash of pink through your window.The versatile border plants thrive in part sun.

Sedum / Stonecrop


Watch this succulent plant sprout up in the summer before bursting into a deep pink or red in the fall. Since sedum (also called stonecrop) stores water in its leaves, it's incredibly heat- and drought-resistant, and butterflies love the wide, dense flowers.


Monkshood / Wolfsbane

                         Monkshood / Wolfsbane


Caution: This plant is poisonous, but with purple flowers this lovely, it's hard to resist. Plant the perennial (also called wolfsbane) in shaded areas — and make sure you wash your hands after handling it. If you have curious kids or pets, you might want to skip this one.

Colchicum / Autumn Crocus



You might know colchicum  by its other name: autumn crocus. As you would expect, they do bloom between August and September, but without any foliage. The leaves only appear in the spring before dying back in the summer.

Alyssum

Available in both purple and white, alyssum works in both containers and beds, or as a ground cover. If you're aiming for a fantasy garden, plant some between stepping stones for a magical effect.

Japanese Toad Lily
Tricryrtis

Like toads, these orchid-like flowers love shady, moist locations — but rest assured they're a lot prettier than their namesake. Tricyrtis does well with other woodland plants like hostas and ferns, — but watch out for deer, who like these blossoms as much as you do.

Turtlehead / Chelone



Tubular blossoms which ranges in color from  and pink to white — begin to bloom. The plant also goes by the name "chelone," but take one look at the flowers and you'll understand the nickname.  Turtlehead gets its common name from the blossoms that resemble the shape of a turtle's head with its mouth partly open. There are 6 species in the genus Chelone, all of which are native to North America.

Aster


Sky Blue Aster (Local Daisy)

                                                                Aster dumosus 

Show-stopping display.  The daisy-like blossoms also repel deer and attract butterflies.

Cestrum Nocturnum/ Fragrant Night Blooming Jasmine / The lady of the night/ Night scented jasmine / रात की रानी /  night-scented cestrum or poisonberry,
 





Leaves & Flowers

Cestrum nocturnum is an evergreen woody shrub with slender branches growing to 4 m (13 ft) tall. The plant is multi-branched and heavily foliated. The leaves are simple, narrow lanceolate, 6–20 cm (2.4–7.9 in) long and 2–4.5 cm (0.79–1.77 in) broad, smooth and glossy, with an entire margin. Towards the front they are pointed or tapered, the base is rounded or blunt. The leaf stalks are 0.8 to 2 cm long.

Inflorescences


The flowers are greenish-white, with a slender tubular corolla  2–2.5 cm (0.79–0.98 in) long with five acute lobes, 10–13 mm (0.39–0.51 in) diameter when open at night, and are produced in  cymose inflorescences . A powerful, sweet perfume is released at night. The mostly multi-flowered, drooping inflorescences panicles are terminal or axillary. They are clustered, sparsely branched panicles, on the inflorescence axes of which there are herbaceous bracts. The five sepals are fused to form a bell-shaped, approximately 2 mm long calyx and have five pointed tips, which are slightly enlarged, ribbed and acutely pointed on the fruit. The inside and outside of the calyx are finely haired.

The fruit is a white berry 10 millimetres (0.39 in) long by 5 mm (0.20 in) diameter. There is also a variety with yellowish flowers. There are mixed reports regarding the toxicity of foliage and fruit.

Cestrum nocturnum is grown in subtropical regions as an ornamental plant for its flowers that are heavily perfumed at night. 

Toxicity

Ingestion of C. nocturnum has not been well documented, but there is some reason to believe that caution is in order. All members of the family Solanaceae  contain an alkaloid toxin called solanine,  though some members of the family are routinely eaten without ill-effect. The most commonly reported problems associated with C. nocturnum are respiratory problems from the scent, and feverish symptoms following ingestion.

Some people, especially those with respiratory sensitivities or asthma, have reported difficulty breathing, irritation of the nose and throat, headache, nausea, or other symptoms when exposed to the blossom's powerful scent. Some Cestrum species contain chlorogenic acid, and the presence of this potent sensitizer may be responsible for this effect in C. nocturnum.

Some plant guides describe C. nocturnum as "toxic" and warn that ingesting plant parts, especially fruit, may result in elevated temperature, rapid pulse, excess salivation and gastritis. "Ingesting 15 lb of plant material caused a cow to salivate, clamp its jaws, collapse, and eventually die

Plant extracts have shown larvicidal activity against the mosquito Aedes aegypti while showing no toxicity to fish. Plant extracts cause hematological changes in the freshwater fish when exposed to sub lethal concentrations.

Invasive potential

Cestrum nocturnum has become widely naturalized  in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world, including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, southern China and the southernmost United States, and is difficult to eradicate. It is classed as a weed in some countries.

In Auckland, New Zealand, it has been reported as a seriously invasive weed.

Madhu Malti / Rangoon Creeper/ Combretum indicum

Combretum indicum or Madhu Malti, Combretum indicum, also commonly known as the Rangoon creeper or Burma creeper, is a vine  with red flower clusters which is native to tropical Asia and grows in thickets, primary and secondary forest, and along river banks. The Rangoon creeper is a ligneous vine that can reach from 2.5 meters to up to 8 meters. The leaves are elliptical with an acuminate tip and a rounded base. They grow from 7 to 15 centimeters and their arrangement is opposite. 

The flowers are tubular, consisting of oblong petals 6-8 mm long. They are fragrant and have long receptacles to adapt for pollinators with long tongues.

They change in colour with age and it is thought that this is a strategy to gather more pollinators. The flower is initially white and opens at dusk to attract hawkmoths. On the second day it turns pink, and on the third it turns red attracting day flying bees and birds. The flower also changes from a horizontal orientation to a drooping pose.
