Today is “Anizham“ nakshathram. This is our Day 5 pookkalam. 🙂
Ahem! Creativity dying out, i suppose 😀 Can’t tink of innovative designs anymore 😀 Lack of greens is very apparent. Lesson learnt. Tomorrow, there’ll be more greens 😀 😀
Day 5 - Anizham
And here’s what we designed on Day 1 – Atham, Day 2 – Chithira, Day 3 – Chothi and Day 4 – Vishakham 🙂

Thanks!
They’re what we call “Vaadaamalli” in Malayalam. It’s actually a Tamil word which means “the jasmine that never wilts”. Strange, coz it’s not part of the jasmine family at all! 😀 It’s a member of the amaranth family — commonly known as globe amaranth or bachelor’s buttons. And it’s one of the easiest ones to grow…coz it needs no looking after 😉 it’ll grow anywhere!! 😀
