"Say goodbye..." on Medinilla Astronioides

This is it.
Time to say goodbye.
The show is ending...


These are the last of it.
Notice the pearly petals glimmering under the sun?
It wasn't there before..


Now that it is ending,
Even the pearly pink buds too,
Were showing off their glimmers..
Under the shimmering sun.



All that remains..
The 'skeleton',
Which held the magnificent beauty that was once there.




What a graceful way of closing its curtain..
