Thanks for this introduction to the cashew apple, Grace. This is a fruit I have not encountered here yet. I will have to keep an eye open, in case it might find its way to one of the markets in the big city near us.

I can identify with your feelings about your beautiful tree. It’s a unique experience to grow a tree from seed, and it is always devastating when a beautiful tree meets a sad end.

I watched the leaves drop and the sound they made A big portion of the garden was strewn. And strangely the tree was laden with flowers before this happened.

One sapling has come up probably from the see that the mother tree left behind. I had a few cashews already this year.

Yes looks good and will tasty in eating but I have not eaten the fruit still but I have not seen it in my country but in city may be the fruit in the villages of my country. Those who have eaten the fruit are happy as have eaten ind honey and manna dew.

I want to a few rods in praise of cashew apple so that the readers could know its importance in life. The cashew is native to and northeast Brazil and, in the 16th Century, Portuguese traders introduced it to Mozambique and coastal India, but only as a soil retainer to stop erosion on the coasts.

It flourished and ran wild and formed extensive forests in these locations and on nearby islands, and eventually it also became dispersed in East Africa and throughout the tropical lowlands of northern South America, Central America and the West Indies.

It has been more or less casually planted in all warm regions and a few fruiting specimens are found in experimental stations and private gardens in southern Florida.

I love mango! I’ve never had one that has no fibre. I think that would seem like an odd experience.

We are rarely ever told the variety of the mangoes we are sold here, so I don’t really know what type(s) I’ve eaten. But most of the ones we get here look like the ones in your photo, in terms of the shape and colouring.

I love the mango lassi very much.
I think that is the best use of mango, and it is especially nice on a hot day.

I have had a feast mostly Bennet Alphonso.I have 4 yielding trees.

I have 4 varieties and my choice is Bennet Alphonso.

I did not know there were so many varieties of mangoes. Fairly recently I found a Cambodian recipe that used green mango. The more ways to enjoy mango the better! 🙂

Great job. Love the flowers. How wonderful that you have a garden with the flowers of your name. I am not sure that I have seen an Eurphorbia before but it is very pretty. I like how the petals seem to swirl together. Gives it a very unique look.

Grace? That is your real name?
I thought your name is bestwriter!
Wow, your garden is fulled with 50-60 flowers?
Are you a gardener?
Superb! You have the green thumb for planting flowers.
I don’t. I can’t plant anything that is related to flowers.
My garden is either full of weeds or vegetables in flower pots.
I have spinach, spring onion and chives.

Your flowers are so beautiful, as beautiful as your name
growing gracefully!

All lovely flowers, especially your vibrant orange Gerbera! I also love the mums. They are such a delicate shade of purple 😀

It is not fair. Which flower starts with k and h but i will take the challenge

You say right your name is grace is graceful like the tenderness and delicacy of red rose. I like your style of telling how your name is so much important really a good idea for others must trace their name flowers on earth,

I have seen that Flowers and plants feel the energy of love and all plants thrive in a calm and happy environment, they especially enjoy music and have varied tastes depending on what species they are, the emotion they release is dictated by their surroundings.

They have auras and react to people’s moods, becoming tense if around loud or erratic energies, they have an awareness and feel empathy. Tests were conducted in the 70?s, the discovery was that when plants were subjected to undue stress they fainted and remained non responsive for a time.

ndeed the symbolism of the Rose is even more complex than the Grail, given the beauty of its form, the number and arrangement of the petals with their velvety texture, the intoxicating perfume and, deep inside, the hidden golden heart enfolded within the petals, concealing the Mystery of the Centre. A 12th century Persian poet wrote, “Mystery glows in the rose bed, the secret is hidden in the rose.

oh your garden must be very huge!
Otherwise, how could you be able to plant so many varities of flowers??
I do admire your flowers here posted, they are simply beautiful, awesome and fascinating.
May I know how did you grow them?
I once had bougainvillea but my MIL forsake it, and withered.
Then I got the branches from my neighbor, and planted them in the flower pot.
Just the branches without roots,
Now, it is growing new leaves, still a baby plant.
I do hope that it will grow up big with flowers.
Do the leaves keep fading and withered often?
I scared to death when it happened last month.

Yes I do have a big garden around 20,000 sq ft of which some space is taken for my house and paths.I have a lawn on the terrace with a few rose plants.
If there are new shoots and then they wither it is a cause for concern.

Everything on nature created by God are the best and fair that is why the best choice is very very difficult for men and women.

oses have long been associated with motherhood, making them a popular choice on Mother’s Day. Roses were sacred to the Greek goddess Isis, seen as the ideal mother, and they also symbolize the Virgin Mary. Pink roses signify grace, elegance and appreciation, while yellow roses symbolize friendship and joy, so both colors are perfect to give your mom.

Tulips are traditionally associated with new life, charity and spring. With their grace and beauty, these flowers are always a popular option for Mother’s Day.

The iris symbolizes affection and warmth, and some Christians associate the iris with the Virgin Mary. These gorgeous flowers come in a rainbow of colors, though white and blue irises tend to be more popular for Mother’s Day.

I like these flower with my heart.

Each individual is unique so are flowers comparing one with the other is not a right thing to do. Looking at the flowers above I liked all of them as each is different in its own way and has its special qualities too. Your garden is colorful because of the riot of different colors which one is able to witness from above. Credit to the flowers and the owner of the garden for the share.

Maintaining a garden is a difficult task as if we would want to go out of our house there would be none to water the plants and they would wither away too. This was one reason why my mother would never go out as she had to tend to the plants in the garden. It is a joy watching them at different stages of their life.

They teach us the quality of selflessness as they provide us the happiness, the plants give us fresh air. There are also rose festivals in our country where flowers are spread over acres and acres all belonging to different varieties. Taking care of them in itself is an art. Thank for the visual treat.
