Anant is a fragrant flowering plant, Gardenias, which gives out beautiful white flowers ,especially in summers when the days are hot the flowers begin blooming in the late evenings and are fully open during sunset. The fragrance is very distinct and you can smell it even from a distance when the cool breeze sets during nights in summers.

| Cute new born Pups |
Our society garden had a few new pups that looked so cute that they longed to be hugged. But the mommy may be around so no one dare to touch them! Puppies are always in groups , I guess they are termed litter for this reason as they are born in five, six or seven in numbers.

The witnessing of flowers on this anant plant is a beautiful experience and I tried to capture the whole process of opening of anant flowers. The bud developed as an extension of a leaf nodule and looked off white and fully loaded and about to burst. The whole process is fascinating as the flower bud of anant flower opens gradually and the whole flower opened the next day. Simultaneously there are other buds and the anant plant is laden with new buds, so the show will go on for quiet some time!

The fully opened anant flower looks similar to a white rose flower but the plant is totally different from rose plant. The leaves are different and unlike rose plants this anant plant does not have thorns!

Tips for flowering of Anant/Gardenia plant- This anant flowering plant can tolerate direct sunlight so choose a nice sunny spot for good growth. I have kept trimming the new shoots that grew side ways to give good shape to our anant plant and this is what triggered the flowering in the anant plant grown in container. The plant has given flowers within a year of planting. This Anant /Gardenia plant when grown in soil becomes a big tree and when fully laden it makes its presence felt till far away.
Give fertiliser before the beginning of hot summers immediately after winter as the plant in dormant state after chilly winters will get a new growth spurt at onset of summer.
