Garden rich

The audumbara sapling brought from Mysore is doing well. The day before we transferred it to the new pot, it was 'broken' by monkeys. The 'trunk' and roots were fine but the that was bent had all the leaves. Eventually all those leaves wilted and I had to cut that portion off.. I was not sure if it would come back, but wanted to try.. few days later, Lord Datta smiled!! "Dattatreyam Krishnam Haritam.." New leaves sprouted gradually the plant grew. Now it looks very promising.

Brought a new two-headed (branched) audumbaram from Vijayawada. The plant has undergone transportation shock and has wilted.. all the resplendence is gone, though greenery is still to be seen at most 'nodes.' Only one leaf is remaining now. I am hoping against hope that it too jumps back to life and the Adi Guru showers His kRpa from it also.

I want to make at least one of them into a Bonsai.

The other day, I got a dream.. I saw an Audumbara and another tree.. they were so close to each other, almost intertwined. The other tree's leaves looked like those of brahma-medi in size but in shape and texture they were more like the normal audumbaram. It had white flowers and the tree had a very divine look. Something or someone was telling me that it was indeed audumbara and I chanted digambara-digambara seeing it.. The tree in the dream and the dream itself was fleeting. It was one of the shortest dreams. I want to get this tree also.

Having seen for short duration about "Maddi chettu"/"Arjuna vRksham"/Noni-tree on the TV, I searched for it in the internet. The looks (especially leaves and flowers) matched with that of the 'brahma-medi' sized "audumbara" I saw in the dream.

I would love to adorn the garden with a kadambam also. When will Kadamba Kusuma Priya shower Her blessings for these endeavors??

I am also ambitious of getting monkey-bread tree.. within the next ten years.
