Of folklore, Chashme Buddoor, morning walks, solitary spots, trees, dogs, butterflies, & ducks — Delhi’s beloved “garden of bounty” Lodhi Garden turns 90 today. Lovely tribute by @appriseParas in @htTweets today.

Nearly 2 years after over 15 trees - some lone specimens for Delhi - were planted in the capital as part of the G20 summit, me and @appriseParas did a spot check on Tuesday, finding most species were doing well. One - had a different identity altogether. hindustantimes.com/india-new…

On the advice of @delhitrees, I picked up Aparajita (also Shankupushupam, Butterfly Pea Flower or, um, Clitoria ternatea) and made 'blue tea' with it. Add nimbu for it to turn a marvelous jamun colour.

Nandi battalu - cups of Nandi ( no idea why it’s called this in Kannada). I have fondest memories of my grandmother making “kappu” (kajal) from the flowers in her garden for all the grandkids to keep our eyes clear and healthy. I have two plants in my garden in her memory
Chandni/Pinwheel flower (Tabernaemontana divaricata) is an evergreen shrub grown for its attractive flowers & foliage. Tabernaemontana is named after a botanist. Divaricata means with a spreading and straggling habit, referring to the many branches that grow near the ground.

It seems like a simple exercise encouraging people to observe trees has had had an effect on some folks. So happy to see this! For all of those who participated in the #FiftyTrees exercise. Thank you @vangmayi_ for writing this. @delhitrees <3 #Trees thehindu.com/society/chandan…
