Footprints of the Dragon

Last night it rained. But more than water it was wind that created havoc in the garden. The dahlias were bowed low, almost stooping to the ground accepting with humility their 'mistake' of standing so tall. It was a punishment that nature gave them I think, or who knows what. Our garden is considered the most beautiful, in our area. No, we haven't got any prize but during the winter months, there are people seen more often than once taking selfies with our garden at the background. There are marigolds, pansies, tulips, geranium, jasmine, chrysanthemum, hibiscus, calendula, etc. We also have a kitchen garden where we grow carrots, beetroot, radish, brinjals, tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, beans, cabbage, coriander, chilies. However the seasonal plants suffered tremendously by the dragon gale and gave a very hard time to the gardener this morning. The sight of the petals strewn on the green carpet is not a pleasant sight. It reminds me of a cat feasting on a chicken.
