I remember, once my mom threw a plant, which was not growing. Infact it's been many month, and there was no flower on it. I don't remember how and what happened, bring back that plant again and sowed it with little hope that it would survive. And todsy after 2 months it is blooming fully on my terrace. Especially after the rain, it looks more adorable. This is a short story of my flowering plant of terrace.
Canna Lily as the name goes by is kind of wild plant here. No fragrance only natural beauty that once hard to notice. But thanks to the rain the droplets of water making this flower quite exquisite. The story of its survival too is quite unique. Once almost died and lost its identity now bloom fully on my terrace.
It was the water droplets that give a crystal touch and makes the flower so beautiful. It has big green leaves, thin long stems and on top of it the little red flower.
There is one more plant that abundantly grows on my terrace. For the last many years, I was considering it to be a wild breed. It grows from nowhere, on the walls, on the dump, it never asked for proper plantation. It has little Pink flower and Green leaves.
It is only today that I discovered it has medicinal properties and help in treating cancer.
Catharanthus roseus, commonly known as bright eyes, Cape periwinkle, graveyard plant, Madagascar periwinkle, old maid, pink periwinkle, rose periwinkle,is a species of flowering plant in the family Apocynaceae. It is native and endemic to Madagascar, but grown elsewhere as an ornamental and medicinal plant. It is a source of the drugs vincristine and vinblastine, used to treat cancer. It was formerly included in the genus

Anyhow, I was more focused to capture the tiny water droplets due to overnight rain. The crystal water drops looks very attractive early in the morning.
Honestly, I never cared to learn about these plants. They usually grow from everywhere and I keep assuming them as wild. Both the plants are now the major attraction of my terrace. While Canna Lily making one of the Exquisite collection grown more than 5 feet, the other catharunthus roseus has medicinal properties that covers entire terrace.
