The Hibiscus Collection

The Red 
These are the ones that already bloom but somehow I missed to take the photo of the big pink, the bud still got 1-2 more so in a few days I would have a photo of the big pink. I suppose if they bloom at the same time like this my front yard would be very lovely. I need to think of a way that can make them take turn so I could have a bloom everyday for a different colour, would be nice huh... I guess I'll get a few more colour varieties to add to the current collection.
Do view my other flower entry : Bunga Senduduk, Bunga Raya, Allamanda, Bougainvillea and others.
Want to have the photo framed at your wall at home or at the office do visit my Imagekind Gallery!!Stumble It!

My sister took this photo of my father enjoying the sea breeze of Pulau Langkawi. Just could not resist to share the photo. I guest at 78 what you can do is just enjoy your life as it comes. They stayed at Charlie Motel and Restaurant of Pantai Cenang, Pulau Langkawi. Nice view of the sea and it is just few foot steps away from the sandy beaches of Pantai Cenang.

Monday, August 27, 2007
The beautiful dome of Mesjid Putrajaya (Putrajaya Mosque).
The Prime Minister's Office building.
Putrajaya is the new Malaysia's government administration centre and it is named after the first Malaysia Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra. It has a beautiful city centre with large uniquely shaped building that makes you feel like you are somewhere abroad. Last week I was in Putrajaya and everywhere you see are gardens of flowers that the city is dubbed as the Garden and Intelligent City and the surrounding environment is very welcoming that will make you want to come again and again.
The many flowers at and around the Putrajaya Mosque.
Since Malaysia is celebrating its 50th year of independence, Putrajaya held many events, one of which is the Putrajaya Floria that I manage to get to. Initially I wanted to see the Malaysia International Fireworks Competition 2007, with the camera ready and the mind set but somehow something came up at home and need to go back home to Batu Pahat and as such I was unable to watch it, so unfortunate.Visiting Putrajaya is definitely a must, even for a Malaysian because it really represent the new Malaysia and I assure you that it is a worth the effort. And it is not infected by the traffic jam yet as of Kuala Lumpur. Even seeing the city centre from above, from Google Earth is kind of a welcoming design, first impression one must somehow feel that the architect and the town planner must have watched too much National Geographic or maybe the movie "Sign" played by Mel Gibson I guess it is intentional that Putrajaya welcomes visitors from above and beyond.
Aerial view or rather a satellite view of Putrajaya City Centre, snapshot from Google Earth.
One thing that I really don't understand is the naming usage of places at Putrajaya is rather differs from most of Malaysian places. I suppose it came from the US, or an influence from Singapore naming of Precinct for block or groups of housing estate. The various places are called Presint and many blocks of buildings are called Parcel. Parcel C, D and E or Presint 1, 2, 3 and etc.
Anyhow, I could see a lot of tourist visiting Putrajaya, armed with camcorder and all sorts of digital imaging devices. But I supposed I managed to get to take a photo of a forgotten visitors.

Gurindam Jiwa
Wednesday, August 15, 2007
The world of nature, the flora and faunas, and even the animal kingdom is our vital source of energy today and tomorrow. Be it dead or alive. Dead, you will get from fossil fuel, after thousand of years buried deep down inside the mother earth. Alive, as an energy that let you breath every single moment of your life.
Pantun always reflect nature as the pembayang or the first 2 phrases, it is because Malaysia is a tropical country where sun shines almost all year long and the nature is second to none. And pantun is a Malay heritage and as such the nature like trees, flowers, animals would easily find it ways into the everyday life a Malaysian. And since a pantun is a form of poetry it would also find it ways to encapsulate the art of love and romance within the Malay community. Like one of the famous song cum pantun of the 60s, Gurindam Jiwa.
Thinking back, 5 Pantun in one shot is a bit overkill huh.. even thrown in a song with it. :D
Gurindam Jiwa ( L ) ( P ) ( korus ) ( P ) ( L & P ) | I definitely won't be able to translate this but it is a song in a form of Pantun in which is about love and that, love is forever that even in death one will wait for each other at the gate of heaven. A Malay version of Romeo and Juliet so to speak. Click on the play button to listen to the song..

Bunga Senduduk Putih
Tuesday, August 14, 2007
Bunga Senduduk Putih or the white Senduduk flower, took this photo at one of the many flower nursery at Sungai Buloh, Selangor. And I love this picture so much that I bought the plant, a small one in a polybag for RM 2.
Extrated from Garden Asia Magazine :
"The senduduk putih, (Melastoma imbricatum) though rarer than the common purple ones has long been identified as a medicinal plant for women’s ailments."

Yellow Flower
Monday, August 13, 2007
Yet another yellow flower, I took this while taking breakfast at a food stall waiting for the Eye On Malaysia to start operating for the day. They were planted all over the park and in this early morning with the sun shine ever so brightly, and the weather is warm not yet too hot, the flower will definitely drawn you to enjoy the scenery. Anyhow, I don't really know what kind of flower is this, so if you know do tell me yaa... but my guess is, it is a Dahlia of sort...

Another Yellow?
Took this photo of a yellow flower in front of my mother-in-law's house.
This flower always find it ways to be a regular member of a Malay wedding bouquet called Sirih Junjung. It is because not only that it is easily available but it is also because it doesn't matters whether it is fresh or dry it still can be presented as a perfect flower arrangement. After searching here and there, I came to a conclusion that this is a chrysanthemum flower but later on when my wife came and have a peek of what I am writing she overrule and said it looks like a dandelion. So I try to search for dandelion and it does look like ot jugding from the leaves type. So most probably this is a dandelion.
p/s If anybody read the earlier posting, I apologize, I have to edit this back. Obviously, the flower does resemble a chrysanthemum but the leaf did not.
