Those who don’t believe in Darwin’s theory haven’t met Jai, have they? He’s a walking billboard for evolution.
Facial hair.
Math whiz.
Doesn’t do well in captivity.
Occasionally taunts tigers.

ROFL @ that video!!! Just loved it!
by the way, was that photoshop trick or does Jai roam around wearing monkey mask?
photoshop, but it looks very similar to him.
Beautiful pictures! I love pansies!
Cheers,
Rosa
Gorgeous pictures..
Beautiful pics! Could you give me your camera specifications?
Regarding monkey man..not surprised..all men are like that!!!
most of those pics were taken with a point and shoot (sony something) and some with a canon 300D.
Pretty, pretty. What kinds are you planting this year?
we don’t plant annual flowering plants – just perennials.
I feel the same way.
If you maintain indoor plants, I would love to see them.
Beautiful flowers! LOL. Loved the video.
ROFL!!!!!
n beautiful pics, as always!!
Gorgeous pictures, especially last one! Jai looks so cute
Enjoyed watching the funny video with my lil one.
You cracked me up!
Very clever monkey! That’s why Jai got this makeover! Pretty nursery!
What a riot of colours!
lovely pictures. I am getting rather happy that I can take a warm day for granted. Cute video
What a treat to the eyes on a Friday morning ? Thanks Bee and Jai looks cute ofcourse! But where has his girl monkey gone ?
she is taking the pic, obviously
which of these did you bring home… Jai apart I mean
none. they are mostly annuals. we only have perennials.
You definitely take some very good photographs.Lovely!! Though your link says that captivating is supposedly a rare task,you seem to be way ahead and successful at that.!!
I remember seeing a photograph in the last post where even some planting was going on..:-)
awesome pics! Jai looks grt
Quite a few terracotta items in the pix – didn’t know they were popular in the US. Thought only the ethnically-inclined here in India used them.
Hi hi jai beat all the flowers in the beauty contest
LOL
That’s all i can say… & a riot of colors!
Wow! So beautiful. The video is great & so funny! Hee hee, the monkey is too good in irritating the tiger cubs. LOL!
In reply to Sra – terracotta is huge here in the US. Some is domestically produced, a lot comes from Mexico. The priciest pots (and most ornate typically) imported from Italy. In the past 2-3 years there has been a steady influx of Chinese and Vietnamese fired ceramic planters. They are gorgeous but expensive. Then there are the concrete planters/birdbaths/benches. Those are domestic products (too heavy to ship I guess). Do you see those elsewhere or is that a US phenom?
I’m unclear – is flowerfest an event or a place to buy plants or both?
My pansies are about done for. I have a soft spot for pansies – one of the few annuals I use for winter color on the back porch.
flowerfest is just a name for this post.
we get concrete planters in india too.
What perennial blooms do you plant Bee ? Something that will flower say from May to Fall.
But the monkey makes you happy, you have a nice pet, don’t complain now
roses, daylilies of various types, asiatic lilies (and other perennial bulbs), irises, lavender, david’s phlox, russian sage, salvia, clematis, weigela.

mostly flowers that require little water and attract lots of bees and butterflies. we’re in zone 5 in the high-plains desert, so we don’t have much of a choice here. it gets over 100 F in summer and below freezing in winter, plus it’s very very dry.
awww love all the pics….. esp the last one… not only does Jai look so cute, he has the sexiest legs, oooooo
Spring is indeed here! Stunning photos, as always.
Beautiful pictures… Love the color.
I came back again to show the video to my kids..
.. Now i have no idea how many more times i have to come back & play this!! Thanks for the laugh.
