Last year
during the visit to Kumbakonam and while coming from Ariyalur we stopped at a
village and I just came close to this yellow flowering shrub grew in front of a
house. And the gate came into the image without an intention of shooting it and
it gives a neat look to the house and I also liked the design.
The yellow
flowers, named as yellow bells aka yellow trumpet bush has become a trend in
Tamil Nadu and many people has been planting this shrub esp. in front of the
houses. Apart for the ornamental use, people started to grow these mainly for
the purpose of Vastu (a traditional belief of bringing harmony into the home
and Vastu means dwelling) but I like this plant for its charming and bright yellow
blossoms. I really want to have this plant for me and will try to get one soon.
Yellow Bells
are a perennial shrub in the trumpet vine family that is native to the Americas and
it is heat and drought tolerance, vigor and pest resistance. The yellow flowers
are 2” long with trumpet shape and hangs in showy clusters at the branch tips
and forks, bending the wigs into arches give the name Yellow Bells. It has a
very long flowering season, from early summer to late fall; the shrub reaches 15-20
feet height and attracts bees, butterflies and hummingbirds for its flowers.

The flowers are lovely. I do believe that the colours and shapes of flowers & plants could directly influence the harmony, wealth and well being of everyone. The Vastu and Chinese geomancy have ancient texts on these subjects that date back to over thousands years.
These flowers attract tiny birds with long beaks, for drinking the honey/nectar it holds. I had this in my old house! Beautiful pictures!

Beautiful!. These spread cheer in summer, and when they wither in a gust of wind the floor is a yellow carpet. Luckily Hyderabad is full of these flowers, the dry heat helps these plants. They come up in my containers too.
