Colors i Love to Play With

The festival of colors is here so let's get started ...with the Holi colors then.

Green...the color of love and life...
Green of my flowering Kalanchoes. And green with pink...whoa what a nice combination to play with...

That Poppy pod against the pink...how pretty the colors look together...pink and green...

The green also in my Sweet Pea vine...

And green looks good with white too...

Green of my Pittosporum...dark green with just a some whites here and there...

Blue for Peace, Indigo for Knowledge and Violet for Bliss...all in Cineraria...and some in the little dwarf Pansies. But first this amazing violet cluster of the Verbena. Violet against the green another amazing color worth mixing and trying for great dramatic effects...






Red for Power...Begonias have it and also in a Daisy. That which is known as Pomponette. Both look freshly showered and playful. Inviting one with their bright yellow center.


Orange for Purity...uff can't explain how the Nasturtiums were delivering and to what extent. i guess all the shades i was seeing from the deepest to that which looked fluorescent.
...

A special hue of Orange also in the Impatiens...

And finally the yellows for Happiness in Calendula and Gerbera.



But the best of all the yellow of the Marigold which asks for more...remember from last post...
The temperatures in Delhi has dropped but if i have to play Holi like this i wouldn't mind playing it the entire day. A happy and safe Holi...no damage to any part of the skin, no wastage of water even but just sheer bliss to the senses and pleasure to the soul...



Happy festival of nature's colors to one and all :)

Colors Stand For Unique Virtues Of The Soul

Yeah as the title suggests...Colors sure do and it came to me as an appropriate Whatts App Holi Message.
Holi a festival of colors.
And what a co-incidence just when i was enjoying Holi of the best kind in the company of my colorful ones on the terrace...
So without much ado let me show you all...
First things first was the color of Condensation that greeted me... the color of water..." God is the color of water. Water doesn't have a color."
Then saw my God sitting there blessing the offerings of the previous day. A pattern of sorts like Him floating on a sea and yes naturally remaining thus as dry as dust. The condensation...wonder why it was not on Him...
After checking His dimpled feet to where he sat and the delectably drenched rose beside him not needing any replacement i proceed with my Holi rendezvous with the rest.

i start with the Poppies...



Those perfect drops on the leaves reminded me of Kundan stones that i so much love of the jewelry  much a rage these days and these Kundans created while we slept by nature also the color of God.

The sun was coming up and i made haste towards my Petunias...good that i did for i would've missed the razzle dazzle, the shimmer and shine...of those natural colors...
And the color of God taking on the colors of those that wore it...








It was hard to resist my paper thin Petunias but Holi means mingling with one and all so i made haste towards my Pink Periwinkles...and not just because these wore the maximum shimmer and shine...


And while i still longed to be in their company the baby pink Geranium beckoned...


Dianthus also known as Sweet Williams was already dusted with fairies silver dust but i wished some of that shimmer and glitter to come on me as well so i went berserk with these sweet, delightful and amazing williams...




While i frolicked with the Williams the Pansies young and small waited patiently to seek my attention...



What do i say about my marigolds...they just bowed and wowed me like they were asking for more... more to drench them with...


My Holi with colors will go on and on but one post would not be enough to contain all...

Happy Holi is tomorrow so i will continue playing the colors...all these colors...on my terrace...
Playing safe and sound with these flowers and colors in my next post with more spiritual colors...as the Whatts App message correctly said with all the Blues which stands for Peace, the Violets which mean Bliss, the Indigos that signify Knowledge, the Oranges that hold Purity, the Greens which not only mean the color of life but also is the color of Love and definitely the Reds which bestow us with Power...
Till then wish one and all a very special Happy Holi :)
