Birth of a New Life and Fault of Nature! Terrace Garden Stories

Foliage garden has its advantages and disadvantages After the rainy season the greenery is past admiration. nature is at its best. Sharing the garden story of a butterfly birth and loss...Thick growth over takes the once beautiful container plants and they look over grown and loaded with foliage. This is also the time for butterflies and other insects to lay eggs for increasing their fraternity. My garden was also attacked by these hundreds of butterfly eggs. Why attacked.. because the new caterpillars eat their way to health and your plant suffers a  slow death!
Pupae of butterfly
Mostly the lemon plant is their favorite. Here the picture of a Bamboo plant and the fresh lime green larvae is developing a cocoon. The picture quality is not so good as it has been taken by a mobile phone camera.

The caterpillar Pupae
 One the day of birth the beautiful butterfly removes and frees itself from the cocoon. The mother is there on the watch though she is helpless in the hands of nature. Unfortunately this particular one could not come out easily and its one wing got stuck up in the cocoon. It struggled for a day and in the end was found eaten by black ants. This is the bitter truth of nature. The survival of the strongest theory works everywhere ,.more so in nature which is automatic.

Though it was beautiful and very large in size due to a small fault it could not survive. A moment to spare for this beautiful wonder of nature! the next day I saw it eaten by ants....I pray for all those who left us, I pray for my plants also those who have entered my life and left us.... they, each one come in our life as teachers with a message.

On a positive note again I have spotted the large same type of butterfly and also a yellow one coming and laying eggs. Best of luck dear butterfly! There are so many babies and so beautiful that they start a new life. Trust me there is so much joy when you see a new birth. I see pigeon eggs and babies, parrots come and crows are fed by my hand, special egg fry. watch how I feed crows daily for years, in this YouTube video

Butterflies share so much beauty and they have a short life. I have so much experiences and stories about my terrace garden, some are full of joy with a fresh leaf springing up suddenly or a fragrant rose bud appearing magically. Experiences are life lessons and nature communicating.  
Gardens need tending, trimming and transplanting to keep them every green!

My Beautiful Escape! Terrace Garden Blessings and Inspirations for healing artist Rizwana A Mundewadi

Gardening forms the second important part in my life. Making healing art with flowing Reiki energies (my reiki flower healing paintings)  Gardening is an inspiration, support, and a way to connect to mother Earth. Absolutely feels so connected with pure Gaia blessings touching the soil, planting, pottign, cutting, transplanting, gardening brings so much joy!! Its my beautiful escape and once in there you will find me so engrossed that I forget the time, and everything else. Making a visual impact with my garden and giving the best place for every plant there, is my aim and of course every single plant communicates their needs ..if we listen.

Having an open terrace private garden in this pent house is a blessing. Not only I get  apiece of land but also a piece of my sky! Life has never been the same, with excitement and joy every plant brings to me. It is a fresh energy, a struggle, a lesson and also the energy of care and selfless love. A beautiful escape I can spend hours watching the plants and the flowers. each one popping to get my attention and love, I have their pet names, I scold them, I pamper them sometimes and it is the best time that is spraying water to them. They are compactly snugly fitted to make the most of this 12x12 feet terrace garden.
