I can never have enough look at a flower with translucent soft pink petals that perfectly overlap each other. This should be an allamanda. It is a common household ornamental “pet” flower in my country. It is easy to find seeds of allamanda, and easy to get them to grow well. I have tried to…

Today, I feature the orchid once again. I am always drawn to orchids because they exists in such wide variety that I see a different one every time! This one has a strange upside down feel to it. Enjoy!

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…

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!

I was pleasantly surprised to find such a beautiful pink flower weaving its way out of the sand on the beach! Plus, look at that beautiful perfect star shape formed by the shaded lines on the petals!

Flowers are even more interesting when they come in a bunch, on which some are still in various stages of growth before the bloom.

BIV.” I remember repeating the colours of the rainbow over a long period of time, actively attempting to memorise the colours from red to violet, and recite them backwards from violet to red. I repeated the colours of the rainbow in Mandarin, “红 (hong)，橙…

Finally, I am posting the photo of an orchid! I love orchids because it reminds me of homeland, Singapore. I also love orchids because they always look like beautiful ladies dancing elegantly in the wind. This flower below sure looks like a beautiful lady. I am not sure what the species is, but I like…

In response to Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Older Than 50 Years (1965). My Singapore, the place that I call my home. Singapore is celebrating her golden jubilee this year. She is into her 50th year of independence after 144 years of British rule, followed by merger with and separation from Malaysia. Many sites and memories of Singapore…

This flower looks like the variant of a sunflower – with florets in the centre and many petals radiating in perfect symmetry around all 360 degrees. This flower even looks like it has pollen grains at the time of the photo! EDIT: This flower has been verified to be an Osteospermum with common names, African…
