Philippines, I MISS YOU...


http://www.batch2006.com/visit_nueva_vizcaya.htm

I was looking for that gumamela flower, the one that is shaped like a cigarette or a tube like umbrella that's about to open but lo and behold flowers! are popping everywhere and not only just flores but Phil. made, grown flowers so I was sooo happy! and you can look at some interesting pics too and form your very own conclusions or opinions, laughs. Lovely multi-petaled gumamela and the Phil's version of the millionaires' bloom :> pretty! wow :) the powder puff and this type of gumamela is really written in my brain since i was very little. so my memories would like to re-visit that time again :) i never saw it during vacation time, this type of the gumamela, but i saw the powder puff at our Lady of Manaoag Church's grounds, so i'm happy :>

and surprise!!!

the same girl and the same man. see i was at work googling the gumamela that i knew then, the tobacco like reddish bloom when i found the one on top and now I'm home looking out for that variety that i like and here is the same guy and gal, laughs. and they're in Banaue too, where i did my rural service after graduation. this man really takes good pics, the one that i like...with flowers! dogs! and churches! :) lovely! but it's not the gumamela that i was looking for though...so the search will go on :) i really miss the Phil. grabe talaga.

finally i found it, the pic above :) but it seems like it needed TLC and fertilizers to look great, laughs. and these blooms have a nicer color... pinkish...the one a long time ago is kinda red orange.
