"Ballerina Girl"

Meet my lovely ballerinas.

Standing graciously side by side in their pinkish tulle ballerina skirt.

Ever ready to perform a magnificent show together.

No wonder they are called the "Flamingo Lily".

Love its large dark green heart shaped leaves 

Its flower in pinkish white color is unique.

A welcoming departure from the regular red or white blooms.

This flower  is also known as "boy flower" because of its shape. 

And we can see clearly the reason why...

(no need for further explanation)

When NASA listed this plant as natural air purifiers inside our homes,

I do not hesitate to have one.

Although a lot has been said about it being prone to pest attacks.

Well, we shall see about that, won't we?

Here's to a beautiful weekend ahead :)

Pretty in Pink..!

Simply gorgeous.
The Dwarf Mexican Petunia in pink.
Exquisite purplish-pink colors!

In her best bloom at noon time.

Each one showing off her dainty and ruffled flare skirt..

Early morning look..
Each bloom sneaking its way out from under the leaves.

After the rain look..
Towards the evening,
As it entangles itself for the day.

Calling it the day..
In exquisite style and beauty.

It is after all an "am-to-pm" flower.
Colors like this make me lost track of time,
Just by admiring its natural beauty.

May you have a beautiful week too :)

Enchanting Roses...light pink rose!

Decided to go to Sg Buloh this morning. It has been a while since my last visit there. Kay (my friend) and I headed to Lot 61, Paling Horticulture, Sg Buloh. We are great fans of flowers! It's always nice to have someone who is passionate about flowers to go with. Of course, we both thought of just "cuci mata" and to see what's new.

Then, suddenly...my eyes caught upon this beautiful rose. Truly enchanting with its pure light pink color and faint sweet subdued fragrance..hhhmmm. I just need to close my eyes and breathe in delight. Intoxicatingly pure and warm scent :)

It's just too bad that no one at the nursery knows the name of this rose :(

Such a beautiful piece....

If you know which species this rose belongs to, do enlighten me!

I never thought I would end-up bringing this masterpiece home since my garden is still infested with 'leftover' pests. But it is too irresistible and temptingly adorable. And it costs only RM10! Who, in their right frame of mind, could resist this?

As a precaution, I didn't put this plant in the garden right away. I placed it on the shelve of my bathroom and sprayed with "Baba Tenen D25" natural insect repellent all over its stems and soil. After half an hour, I put it by the window of my utility room. The weather was gloomy with heavy rain, but the air was cool. Not to mention the cold breeze that comes with it. Great start for this rose.

Even if this rose would not survive for long, I decide to take a lighter approach to it. I will not stress myself out unnecessarily, like I did in the past. I know I have enjoyed the beauty of this rose and appreciate the pleasure it gives me :)

After all flowers are created to bring out our inner sense of happiness and not otherwise ;)

The houris will be smiling in her sleep tonight...for sure :))
