Vibe With My Plants

Makes sense why we are happy and smiling

Hehe…

This one is the rose balsam plant which we have a lot in our home. One thing I like about them is that they flower a lot and the floor every morning is just filled with red flowers and I Just love them.

Actually, not mine, all of them belong to my cute little mommy and she is the one who is taking care of all of them.

So if I say yes, they are mine, she will place all of them in my room and literally, I will be thrown out and not them.

She loves all her plants and every morning, the first thing that she used to do is to look at how many flowers she has today. Then she used to explain everything to me, how they grew and nearly one story repeated times but I still enjoy 😂😂 because she makes cute faces…

This plant is commonly known as balsam, rose balsam, garden balsam, or touch me not.

Amazing names right, even I didn’t know them😂😂😂just googled them and here I am boasting.

All thanks to Google.

Now this one is interesting ⭐.

Here I have the most important and holy plant in our house and I already started my plant stories with it.

This is the flour of our Tulsi plant and we are just in love with it.

One thing that I noticed about this plant is that if you have one at home in your garden, then you will see a few baby tulsi plants growing in other parts of your garden too.

May be due to the spreading of seeds due to wind. So we are never having a lack of tulsi leaves to make tulsi tea.

This is the plant that my mom kept safe at our Varanda and worshiped every morning and evening.

In case you missed my previous story about Tulsi, here is it…

These are just a few of them but the amazing thing is that these plants make our life so amazing. We never feel how important they are to us.

Plants make the surroundings lively, and I don’t know why but when our garden is green everywhere, we all feel happy.

I even love spending some time there, watching squirrels hop around, bees 🐝 flying, and small humming Bird hum everywhere.

Even if I want to catch them with my camera, I just can’t. They are so small and fast…

Now here we also have some amazing stories which caught my eye, and I am sure you all will love them…

I just loved all of them...
