Bangalore flower nurseries

One of the many beautiful sights in Bangalore are these little nurseries in almost every nook and corner of the city. Rarely have I seen so many plant nurseries in any city. It not only shows the people's love for gardening but also the green culture of the people here. This particular nursery is in East Bangalore near Kalyan Nagar. It stores on indoor and outdoor plants, lotus, lillies, geraniums, etc. Lotus are priced at 1500. The store also sells hanging plants and wind chimes. An ideal visit on a bright sunny day.

Interesting Balcony

An interesting balcony that I spotted on one of my walks. The green bottles and the wall art made for a rather unique display. Reminded me of the Voodo practice in the Congo basin of a phenomenon called 'Bottle tree spirits'..The bottles in question are supposed to catch the evil spirit and restrict themfrom entering home.
