The surviours


Did not venture into the garden with the camera for it was not only scortching summer sun but the annual shortage of  Metro water . So the plants get the water from the bore well which is saline and has a lot of iron in it.The leaves of most plants fall off or literally look burnt.It's a sad sight . The rare cactus bloom made me venture out with the camera. So here are the surviours :
