These are the red torch ginger flowers. The very same ones where the stems are used when making rojak (a local salad with shrimp paste).
They make a very attractive and unusal bouquet when put in a vase.The weather here has been unbearably hot this past fortnight, with highs of 34C almost every day and night. And guess what? The bougainvillas bloom especially well when the weather is really hot.
Here are the flowers from the red frangipani tree. I love that deep red colour.
And, my favourite:
I dont know what these are called but they bloom only in the mornings. They seem to be standing up and waving at me! And that brightens my day!I hope I brightened yours too!! Have a great weekend!
