Flower of The Day
Yesterday I saw an almond tree that was already blooming, although it was mostly buds.
It’s a lovely flower.
It feels like spring though it’s still winter here on the island.

Flowers on Fridays
This time I choose to show three different types of flowers but with similar shades of color.
The flower on top I believe is an anthurium, also called flamingo flower.
The one above is a type of orchid but there are about 28,000 different species so I have no idea about its name.
Plumeria flowers.

Sarawak Orchid Garden, Kuching – December 2019.
Flowers on Fridays
These beautiful flowers were taken when I visited Orchid Garden in Kuching, Sarawak. It’s obviously not some kind of orchid, but it is a beautiful flower that grows on large trees and has a lovely scent.
If I’m not mistaken, this is Plumeria flowers which are most fragrant at night in order to lure sphinx moths to pollinate them. But I could be wrong…
The Power of Flowers & Color
It feels like my last post was a bit too depressing so I decided to add some happy color in a new post instead. My colorful bougainvillea is still blooming on our terrace…
…and the color splash that is barely visible in the top image is the color of Fanny’s new coat.
If dogs could smile she would do it and if dogs could talk she would tell that she is a happy one.
Welcome November
Typically November, the sky is gray, it’s thundering and it’s raining again.
Days like these we need both color and flowers and not to forget, a happy mind.

It continues to rain here on the island. 
These are still blooming on our terrace, although it’s soon November.
Life goes on, sometimes a bit too fast. For the future, I have a wish…

Same Flower… 
…but with three different edits.
Thursday’s pictures..
The main thing these pictures have in common… 
…is that they are surrounded by the greenery of nature.

Roses

Time for a break
I’m taking a break now, not sure for how long. 
Flying away from Malta tonight for two weeks.
It really feels like I have to get away from it all right now.
💕 Take care out there! 💕 
“Sometime I just want to fly
away from here…
…as the bird fly before the winter.”

Hibiscus
One of the very few flowers left on our roof terrace is this Hibiscus which has been growing there for eleven years now. We also have some geraniums left and I also bought a Bougainvillea, my favorite among flowers.

This is a very small flower that I found in Ta Qali National Park.
Perhaps someone know what kind of flower it is.
