  • Flower of the Day – July 23, 2015 – Bougainvillea | cocoaevenings

    Bougainvilleas are probably the most commonly seen flowering plant in my country as they are grown on almost every roadside. They are hardy; able to withstand the tropical climate with harsh, burning sun, and pouring rain the next moment. The bougainvillea flower is actually only that tiny white one that looks like a nano-daisy. The…

  • Flower of the Day – July 21, 2015 – Unknown | cocoaevenings

    I took picture of this flower because it has incredibly long stamens. I did like to think that it is a hibiscus, yet it does not really look like the images on Google. Do feedback if I am wrong, as I am still learning about flowers. Enjoy!

  • Share Your World – 2015 Week #28

    In response to Cee’s Photography, Share Your World tag. What is your favorite comfort snack food? For sweet ones, I did say, ice-creams and chocolates. These foods are associated with treats and happiness for me, as I was not allowed to eat these regularly as a child. Ice-creams are cold which could worsen asthma, and…

  • Flower of the Day – July 18, 2015 – Hibiscus | cocoaevenings
