Watery Wednesday

Photos courtesy of Mr. Joel Maglantay, my first cousin living in Davao City.

Joel tagged and permitted me to post these beautiful and magnificent photos of falls located at Lake Sebu, South Cotabato in Mindanao. Last June 05-06, 2010, together with his teacher friends they had an awesome adventure and had experienced the paradise haven of the place. Sooner or later, I wanted also to experience it myself.

I don't know what this flower bud is. I saw this flower growing at someone's home garden when we dropped by at Jasmin's house before we go to SM Fairview. We asked permission from someone if we could took some snapshots and she said it was okay.

After a week, same flower bud bloomed into passion. Jasmin took these photos from their neighbor's garden and asked the name of the flower. She was told that they called it "passionara". I googled it and I was glad to know that it is popularly known as "passion flowers or passion vines".

Watery Wednesday

Last January 2009, I took a one (1) week vacation in our province in Ibajay, Aklan and had a chance to visit once again the white sand and clear water of Boracay Island.

While on the beach, I gathered sea shells, stones and some sand because Ate Mhel requested me to bring some in Manila to be decorated in their aquarium. 

My cousin and I enjoyed the day.

 I took a last snapshot before we headed home.

Up to this day, I still don't know what's the name of this flower. I saw this growing at the small garden of Good Shepherd Church when we went to Adoration Chapel to have a moment of silence and offered prayer.

 I don’t know what this little flower is. Until I showed it to someone and had told me it is a white angel. It was growing at the flower box located at the corner side of the building premises of the hospital. I was glad to have it photographed and shared it with you.

Today is Valentine's Day which of course makes us think of love, romance and of course, flowers! And because heart is the symbol of love, I am very glad to share with you this heart shaped flower arrangement displayed at the hospital lobby.

This flower arrangement composed of fresh red and white malaysian mums was the centerpiece last Monday, February 07.

And when Thursday came, I was so excited to see once again the newly arranged flowers at the lobby.  As I walked in to check it out, I saw the flowers are all new but the heart-shaped arrangement is still the same. They  used different kinds of flowers - anthuriums (spadices were cut off), gerbera daisies, gladiolas and chinese asters.

 

I have met the flower designer that day and had a short conversation with her. I asked her to name a few flowers which unknown to me. I'm grateful for her kindness in sharing me such information.

I got these photos from my photo folder. These were taken last May 2007 when we had our department summer outing at Subic Bay, Zambales. We were on the long road of SCTX (Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway) going back to Manila when I watched the sky and have it photographed.

I found these beautiful flowers arranged and displayed at the lobby of Institute of Medicine building last January 14 when the FEU-NRMF Medical Alumni Society, Inc. celebrates its 35th Annual Alumni Homecoming Scientific Convention and Golden (Class 1960) and Silver (Class 1984) Jubilee. I took the chance to have it photographed before it will dry up and drop off.

Distinguished by their large, beautiful blooms and wide assortment of vibrant colors, gerbera daisies have become a favorite flower choice for expressing cheerful sentiments. The traditional flower meanings for the gerbera daisy, however, are beauty and innocence.

Orchid is the most highly coveted of ornamental plants, the delicate, exotic and graceful orchid represents love, luxury, beauty and strength.

While they resemble smaller versions of many lily varieties, Peruvian lilies, also known as alstroemeria, have many distinctive qualities of their own. If you’re looking for flower meanings like friendship and devotion, Peruvian lilies are the choice for you.
