About this blog

Monsoon visits to Mumbai's city forest, the SGNP or Sanjay Gandhi National Park at Borivili.

This year the monsoons have arrived almost a month late so today's visit [7 July 2009] to the Silondha Trail still had the forest lilies in bloom which usually flower early June. The forest streams are still very low due to the paucity of rains.

A subsequent visit [2 Aug 2009] to the longer Yeoor Trail saw a few more wildflowers, but again, due to the very poor monsoons so far, the many waterfalls were almost bone dry.

Another visit on 13 September 2009 rewarded us with a profusion of wildflowers and their attendant butterflies.
