As the weather gets hotter, I noticed that the bougainvilleas around the school compound are in spectacular blooms. At home, I don't see any flower-( bunga plastik je ada) so I just enjoy looking at the flowers around the school. The beautiful bougainvilleas are certainly a feast for the eyes! I was told by the school's gardener that those bougainvilleas have been around for more than 2o years and the school is 60 years old. There were mostly planted during the 80's and 90's when bougainvilleas used to be Malaysians favourite flower. Nowadays it's very hard to find Bougainvilleas in large cities. I think most people are more interested in Orchids. In Terengganu, I noticed that Bougainvilleas are still very popular. You would see lots of bougainvilleas at many homes in Terengganu especially in the villages.
menyejukkan mata di hari2 yg sgt panas ini..

ReplyDeleteI love bougainvilleas. I wish we could grow them here in the UK but our winters are too cold. My mum had a lovely one her greenhouse but it hasnt survived all the frost we've had this year, even being inside.

The bougainvilleas are absolutely gorgeous and it looks like your city is ushering spring already. We haven't had much blooms yet due to the cold weather.

ReplyDeleteKaren- I never try planting hibiscus but it grows well in the highlands of Malaysia where it's cooler. It's one of my favourite tropical flowers.
ReplyDeleteAisyah Hani- Saya tgok kat sek tu, dah puluh2 tahun hidup subur. Nanti saya nak tolong tanya tukang kebun, camna boleh maintain je pokok2 tuh!

ReplyDeleteXiao Yen Recipes- Thank You dear. BTW, we don't have spring and the 4 seasons in my country.It's hot and humid all year around . The bougainvilleas bloom a lot during the hottest time of the year.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment on my blog, the photo was taken last year whilst out walking in a local wildlife reserve. I love your photos especially the bourgainvillea, I only wish it would grow in the uk.
Warm wishes

I have to admit, I scrolled at the pictures a couple of times to look at the flowers. I've never seen them before. They're so bright and beautiful and they look like they grow kinda in vines?? We don't have blooms like this in my city. The cold weather and fog make it pretty impossible to grow anything nice. I wish Mother Nature would take a bit of your heat and give to us and take a bit of our cool air and give to Malaysia :)
ReplyDeleteEmma-Hi Emma!Thank You for dropping by. I just love nature photos.
ReplyDeleteRose Belle- Bougainvilleas is also called paper flower here. They are thorny woody vines and can grow from 1-12 metres high.
ReplyDeletecantik :)
