The picture I attached, is a local orchid we call sangumay blooms. I don’t know it’s English name though.
This is one of the orchids, my brother-in-law has in his small garden.
It is not only beautiful, but it is also so fragrant.
What about in your garden, what flowers gives you the sign whenever summer is nearly approaching?

I don't know the name but it blooms only in May and that's not even summer.
But I know it's summer season when the grass starts turning brown.

That is a pretty orchid. I think bougainvillea bring in summer here. My garden is laden with those flowers now.

I think the color is fuschia? It's really a very attractive color. Actually, most orchids have this color.
Here too, 3 weeks ago all the mango trees in our neighborhood are filled with flowers. However, the next weeks it always would rain and those flowers were gone now.
Hopefully, they will soon have blooms since I think, summer is here already. It has been so sunny these past two days.
