I never knew about the Empress Gardens in Pune until I read this blog and now I have come to understand that with 59 acres land this is an amazing botanical garden. Thanks for such lovely pictures.
Oh yes this a lovely place even when there is no formal show. I’ve always wanted to share some pictures of the garden in its natural state – will do so in the near future. Thanks for the inspiration

“A single rose can be my garden; a single friend, my world” ~
Very meaningful quote.
A saying in the Share Market came to my mind:
” Do you have some blue chips in your portfolio?
If yes; have one more.
If no; have your first one.”
This applies to friends as well.
Oh, I do love me a great flower shot (and wander through a flower show too!)
Thank you. Your vintage pictures too were lovely. Just checked your blog
simply wow!!
