As promised before, here I am presenting the colorful produce from my garden – Chrysanthemum flowers! These flowers are commonly known as Sevantige in Kannada while in Telugu it is called Chamanthi. With the amount of flowers that have bloomed on our roof top, probably for next few weeks we don’t have to spend on buying flowers! Not just that, our interior decoration with these flowers for aesthetic enjoyment has multiplied. Also the fresh fragrance emanating from these flowers is an additional relaxing agent for the hard working minds! Do I need to say more?
For more information on Chrysanthemum flowers, refer to Wikipedia here. If you plan to grow these flowers and need a sapling, the booking is open! Of course, needless to say that I will be giving them for free – you may have to pick it up from my home and it will be a part of my project ’spread the GREEN love’ 
. If you wish to see the produce from my garden in the past, refer to this link.
One more trivia about Chrysanthemum – these plants have been shown to reduce indoor air pollution by the NASA Clean Air Study. I think that is a sufficient incentive for growing these flowers!

Heyyy!!!! Beyooooteeefoool !!!!
Btw, its a coincidence I guess.. This weekend I bought a few pots for my house. I’m quite illiterate so have no clue what the names of the flowers are. All I know is – One is Tulsi, and another is rose bud !! They loook sooo cute. Can’t wait to see them blooming .. It all started thanks to your earlier post. Yay!
Wow.. that is so nice of you to start so soon! Tulsi festival isn’t too far. I am really happy that you have kick started already and hope your new hobby multiplies the enthusiasm to grow more!

Hi Kavitha, I am glad you liked those flowers
That sounds interesting, hope I get to exchange few saplings with you to make it even more colorful!
Hi Mohan,
Which area in blore do u live in?? The flowers look amazing… How easy or difficult is managing these flowering plants?? Do u have them in pots?? How often do u need to change the manure (soil) ? sorry many questions.. We stay in a small flat and i’d love to have flowering plants . Just wondering if it’ll be feasible.
It is pretty easy, needs a bit of care and a lot of love
Yes, I have them in pots. Usually after the plant season, I go for soil change. I bring in the soil and mix it with the removed soil from pots and mix well with a bit of composted soil so that it gets all the nutrients. You just need to plan on the available layout and the kind of plants you want to grow. There are a variety of plants you can choose from to suit your options.
Wow! Awesomeness. So many flowers! Mohan reserve few for me pleaseeeeeeeeeee…
Thanks Shilpa! Sure, drop in after a couple of months
Hey dude… your garden looks more colorful than my farmville layout. Too good man – also, I think you are in the wrong profession
. I too will plan for some plants in pots.
Thanks Chintan
Obviously my real flowers and plants have to look anytime better than that virtual farmville game! Who know where my destiny is? I might land over that profession anytime 
Mohan, these are beautiful pics. Please give me some tips on growing sevanthige
Needless to say, I suck at gardening!
I picked up a pot but they died
I really envy you your green thumb!:)
Sharon
Hi Sharon, welcome to my blog! Thanks
You need to choose right kind of pots. You must have gone with smaller ones which are probably filled with not so good quality soil. This plant needs sunlight and 2 times water per day. Don’t use any chemical fertilizers… change the soil just before planting these in the pot. Also, ensure there is room for excess water to pass through the pot’s bottom hole. Stagnant water kills/deteriorates the quality of flowers
Mohan…am AMAZED yaar..How have you maanged to ????
Beautiful!!! Beautiful!!!! Its just so lovely and refreshing…..
Thanku… Thanku
I have been at it for a long time… so this is bound to happen!
Mohan,
very beautiful flowers, hope to see more such refreshing pics.
Thanks.. Sure, will post more as and when they bloom
Meandered in from IndiBlogger. Kannada in the post drew me in. Beautiful flowers and beautiful pics. Nothing beats the pride and satisfaction of something home-grown. Maybe it’s all that love that goes into nurturing
Hi Madhu, a warm welcome to you here! Absolutely, you got it right. Look forward to see you more often here.
wow! i love love love these!!!
great job!!
Thanks Shraddha
So colourful! Loved the collection.
Thanks Arun! Nice to know you!

I have just shifted my house and am planning to create my own garden here! I am sure your tips will help me! I am planning to get Areca Palm, Snake Plant for indoor but not thought of any other plants.. may be u can suggest few 
That is nice to know vineeta. Congratulations! Anytime… feel free to contact for any garden related consultation
Wow, the flowers look so fresh and lovely…shows how good you are taking care of them
Thanks Rekha. Yes, it is a kind of addiction once you start growing plants. I do water them twice a day with dedicated couple of hours for removing the wilted leaves/cleaning up the pots during weekends
Beautiful pics
I have three colours – this one, white and a variety of pink! Once glimpse in the mrng and they make my day 
Thanks Swaram. Yes, even we had a number of varieties last year. But this time, decided to go strictly with two varieties. Absolutely… It gives a kick start for a great day.
That’s interesting to know that the lovely Chrysanthemum reduces indoor air pollution. They are also the basis for non toxic ( to humans and animals) insecticide spray.
Yup.. they are based on that NASA study. Thanks for the additional info Sukhmandir
I never knew these flowers name in English. Those flowers look amazingly beautiful. Good work Mohan – happy to see that there so people like you who are still loving to go green in concrete jungles.
Hi Shiv, yeah.. even i wasn’t aware until Swaram gave mentioned the english name of these flowers in my previous article on garden. Thanks to swaram
Beautiful !
yup
they’re!
Lovely… I am just going to head out to get some potted flowering plants… and on my list is a yellow flower and a purple flower. Chrysanthemums were one of my options, but I didn’t know how I was to explain in Kannada what I was looking for…
Thanks.. so Sevantige it shall be
Wow.. that was quick! You don’t need to explain.. just go around and show them what you need
Glad this article was of some help to you.
