What's In My Head?

Malaysia's National Flower Varieties

Horticulture - hibiscus rosa sinensis

A.k.a 'Kiah Janda', 
although it's without multi-layered-petals, 
the combination of pink and white 
create a sense of  
a two-tone graceful simplicity.

A.k.a 'Jamboo', 
this one I found to be very bewildering 
because of the multi-layered petals, 
but at the same time it displays 
a sense of honesty.


A.k.a 'Minah Leter', the orange 
and yellow tones 
shows a strong and bold sense 
of dominance 
- at the first few seconds you are attracted, 
but it wouldn't be long 
before you turn to look at other rosa(s).

A.k.a 'Ah Wek', this reddish orange 
or magenta petals 
are an eye-catching bloom 
- a stunning and flamboyant piece of work.

It's not everyday that I'm able to see 
this part of the bloom; 
it's inter-laced petals are resemblance 
of Anita Sarawak and Mizz Nina 
- a.k.a 'Cik Missy' usually spreads its wings 
around noon.

Don't get too soft with her; 
a.k.a 'Alloyah' may look like 
vanilla ice-cream 
but she can make you stumble 
over the drain 
screaming in pain.

This one is more serious 
and straight forward, 
but she still has her attractions 
- a.k.a 'Semek Che Muda' 
is always cheerful and welcoming.

This is my favourite, 'a.k.a 'Cik Bunga' - 
The start of each bloom 
is a trumpet like opening. 
Due to my negligence, I lost her in 2015.
So, there you have it! 
These girls have been in the bushes 
behind the house 
within the 4-feet tall wooden fence.
