Come monsoon blooms the Rajnigandha in Delhi

The Rajnigandha or tuberose is an ubiquitous part of Delhi gardens. The long spiky stems hold sprays of white blooms scented with a gentle fragrance

Immortalized in the 1974 hit Hindi movie "Rajnigandha" produced by Suresh Jindal, directed by Basu Chatterjee, these flowers became the inveterate communication between the film's protagonists. Sanjay, played by Amol Palekar, is disorganized, perpetually late, no hot shot in studies, in effect nobody's idea of Prince Charming, yet he charms Deepa, played by Vidya Sinha, by never forgetting to bring her flowers - a bunch of rajnigandha. His ordinariness is reflected in the bouquet of tuberoses, presumably fragrant, some drooping, nonetheless appreciated by her.

Single flowers of rajnigandha strung together forming long white strands are often used as decoration in Indian weddings. Famed aromatherapist Blossom Kochhar has used rajnigandha flowers for calming therapy

Many other flowers burst forth in Delhi in monsoon - the spider lily with its lantern like buds, the aromatic motia (jasmine) used for garlands and gajras (hair ties), the crimson hibiscus which presents a stunning contrast against its own shiny dark green leaves, champa (frangipani or plumeria), fireball lily among others
