Bougainvilleas

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..





found the name of this one-It's called Torch Glow

.
and this is called Raspberry Ice

There are also some hibiscus plants around the school. Hibiscus ni dah jadi mcm barang antik, nowadays. It's supposed to be our national flower but nobody is planting it, anymore. It is almost impossible to see it in large cities. In Terengganu it can still be found in the villages. I hope one day, I will plant all these beautiful flowering plants and bring colors to this world.

Tropical Treasures

Beautiful Bougainvillea blossoms at Fitrah Flora Nursery

Hi everyone! It's Friday today...weekend is here again (for us in Terengganu) and another week passes by. It has been a very hectic week and the weather is very warm here...Yesterday, I snapped some photos at a nursery, just in front of my daughter's school! Actually, I pass by this nursery almost everyday and sometimes parked my car right in front of it but had never been inside it until yesterday. The colourful Bougainvillea blossoms right in front of the nursery had somehow lured me to walk into the nursery yesterday. I just love anything colourful!

As I walked in, I was so surprised to see the forest like atmosphere inside the nursery. They are surprisingly so many plants! They are so green...Very green! The nursery looks like a tropical garden. Those tropical plants really have unusual sense of scenery !

The look and feel of tropical garden plants create quite a visual feast !

I wish that I could have my own tropical garden but I am not Mrs. Green Fingers and I am so terrible at all things to do with gardening.

There are many flowering plants too...

At the nursery, I also found my favourite plant, CACTUS and was so happy! My run-in with growing plant lifes are only some cactus plants which still survive today despite being neglected by me. Cactus is the only houseplant that I can grow cause it requires little care and handling...sesuai dengan orang yang tak berapa rajin like me !

Before leaving the nursery, I bought a cactus plant. Ni je la yang I boleh tanam. Would definitely go there again for more cactus! It's really great to connect to nature once in a while. Love Nature! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
