Life In A Snapshot

Meet Nemo. Not the Nemo that swims but the Nemo that is made of beautiful Dendrobium flowers “floating” in Hyndrangea flowers that symbolizes water. This was one of the elements of Malagos Garden’s entry to the 2009 Kadayawan sa Davao Floral Float Parade. Malagos Garden’s Floral Float bagged the 1st prize in big float category (no wonder because they own the biggest flower farm here in Davao so they could use as many flowers as they want.

We used to have this kind of orchid hanging by our living room window when I was still a kid. Ours was only bearing flowers smaller than the on in the picture but they look totally the same! The plant grew too old that my late Mamang has to throw it because it isn’t bearing flowers anymore. Then last Kadayawan, I saw this orchid again and I was like “wish Mamang didn’t throw her orchids before”. We could have revived it and it maybe bearing flowers that big if it was only well-fertilized.

Another variety of Waling-Waling – the most sought after flower in Mindanao. I used to see Waling-Waling flowers in combination of peach and red or maroon. But this one is new to me. Looks beautiful though and how I wish I could buy Waling-Waling plants for my future garden. Yay!

The Common names of Lisianthus are Prairie Gentian, Texas bluebell, Tulip gentian, Bluebells and Lira de san pedro.

I am attracted to this flower and so is my sister Carol so she got a few pots in different colors. Hope the plant will survive in and bear flowers because it is really nice seeing these flowers.

Here’s another unnamed flower from my files. It looks like  ”santan” (Ixora coccinea) that is commonly grown here in the tropics but the number of petals tells that it is not.

One of the flowers planted in Davao Crocodile Park’s premises. I have seen so many of this kind but didn’t got its name. Can somebody please name this flower for me?

It was such a tiring day. I started packing our things and I’m almost half-way done with all our clothes and personal belongings. The household items will be packed on Friday that if the plan of moving on Saturday will push thru. To change the mood and recharge my mind, I went through our photo files and feed my eyes with nice things to see such as this…

…I call this a fruity and flowery centerpiece. I’m sure everybody’s mood will brighten upon seeing this work of art. 

Happy Ruby Tuesday!!!! Join us here.

This is part of the centerpiece in a wedding reception. I am not familiar what the flower is called but it looks like it belongs to the family of roses. Can anyone name it for me please. Thanks!
