It's from Mom's garden. My mom has a beautiful garden and that's very well maintained and aesthetic. I envy mom for many of her artistic skills. She has energy level of youth in her 60s.

@allknowing I am jealous too. She is 62 now but as active as a 26 year old.

. This is the most simple corner of her garden. She has a gorgeous garden

Wow these flowers are so amazing. Your mum did a good job. I am having a bit of an upset stomach and will be having a very light lunch consisting of boiled vegetables

Those flowers are tagetes (also called Marigold). I had in my garden, I thought they were perennial but they did not grow back this year.

@arunima25 I also thought it was the too much rain of this year.

@LadyDuck We had heavy pouring last night with thunderstorm. And it's 5:30 PM here and dark clouds are back. Seems like it would be another such night.

Even I lost few in my garden. Maybe too much of rain killed them. I had the other big orange flowers.

I guess I won't be eating at your house today. (I would eat the side dish, though.

) It's 2:16 am here. I woke up and haven't gone back to sleep yet.

The flowers in the photo are beautiful but I've always thought they smelled bad. I'm glad those are at your mom's house and not at yours.

@arunima25 Yes, I recognized them as marigolds and have never liked their scent. Mom used to grow them around the house when I was a kid. It was one of the flowers I wouldn't pick. I've never had brown rice, so would be willing to try it. The same with the soya chunks. I'd be willing to try them. I'll go back to bed after while. I'm still wide awake and talking here.

You might like it. I have used brown rice and that is not mushy. Also I have just added carrots, beans and brocoli. No peas or okra.

. I am not sure if you like soya chunks. So that might be one thing to put you off. But they taste and feel like pieces of meat. My daughters call it vegetarian meat

These are marigold and they smell nice. My mom has a very beautiful garden and it is very aesthetically maintained.

I hope you get some good rest. Or else you can always be here. It's a good place to enjoy our time

@DaddyEvil Oh! I see. I think that marigold don't have a strong scent. So even if you don't like them, it should not be bothering much. Unless you go too close to them. Soya chunks is a very good source of protein for vegetarians. It has more protein than any meat as claimed

You have luxury of time and no obligations. So you can stay awake till you feel like. Just make sure that you get enough rest later.

@arunima25 I really think so too, provided it also just helps me to take a break from the kitchen until the next day.

Enjoy your order. Eggplant tomatoes curry is yummy. What are going to eat it with? Rice or some bread? Good to take breaks from meats once in a while.

My mom has a a very well maintained beautiful garden.

I am glad that you liked them. I have a beautiful garden. But these gorgeous beauties are not from my garden. They are from my mother's garden. Mom has a garden that is heaven and much more beautiful and better kept than mine
