Perspective

I had no picture taken lately because I sent my DSLR to the service center for repair and hope to get it back after 3 weeks with that, I have no choice but to search in my archive again for photos taken before. And this is what I found this time...

Pink Euphorbia

If only we have our own home, with my own garden I could be seeing these flowers around me but sad to say we're still on the process of planning on how to have one. In the meantime I'm posting this freshly watered pink euphorbia from my brother's front yard.

To My Dear Sister

I dedicate this post to my dear sister who should be celebrating her 46th birthday today, but sad to say she left as early, she died and joined our Almighty Creator last April 2011.

I missed her so much even though we don't see each other often before because of geographical location. Now I can only see her in my heart.

I Love You and I Miss You Dear Sister.

Hairy Crown Flower

At first, I thought this hairy flower is from a fruit bearing plant "guava" but after scrutinizing it closely, I found out that it's some kind of ornamental plant. And as usual I do not what it's called.

On times like this, doing some sort of flower name guessing, I always remember my mom who knows a lot about flowers, and she had memorized most of them but she's gone now I can't ask her anymore.

So for now, I'm doing another flower naming game and this time I'll name this pretty one as "hairy crown flower", agree? lol...

By the way the the next picture is on her bud stage, a bead like flower that turn into a messy hair flower. cute isn't it?

Since, I'm already doing some sort of game here, how about I'll some more twist by converting the first photo into sepia and black and white. Which to you think had stood out?

Golden Vanda

This lovely flower is a genus in the orchid family (orchidaceae). This orchid genus has about 70 species and it's usually called "Vanda", derived from the classical Indian language Sanskrit.

Vandas or orchids in general are quite abundant in the Philippines, specially in Davao City where different orchids genus/species are cultivated. These pretty blooms usually used as table center pieces and other decorations in various establishments. Just like these golden vandas on top of the restaurant table at Apo View Hotel.
