Traveller's palm, Ravenala madagascariensis, is a living fountain. It stores rain and dewdrops in its stalk. UST Botanical Garden. c. 2011
It's springtime in a desert when lost,
a traveler's palm in a oasis rises;
now I'm too old to revisit the place,
yet fresh still and full of praises.
Introducing a camia flower (Hedychium coronarium) to baby Mackie, author's residence QC. Camia is also called white ginger, garland flower, butterfly lily or butterfly ginger.
Fragrance and beauty make a flower,
which comes first, we grownups know;
Pavlov says a child would later remember
but not as fresh as it was though.

The world is a stage, it is also a school,
Nature's the greatest teacher of all.
Her ways are lessons, mysterious yet full,
fuller still as we grow older.
Balibago flower (Hibiscus tiliaceus Linn) is white in the morning, turning red at the end of the day. Thus it is called balibago as explained by Dr Anselmo Set Cabigan, former director for research of NFA, and professor SPU-QC.
The essence of true beauty is brevity,
elusive, save a glance, a tear, a smile;
behold a flower leaving some memory
like cold wind passing with a sigh.
Markus - baby artist lends a helping hand to his lolo, the author and muralist. At home QC ,
New schools of art many artists missed,
Picasso too advanced in his art;
here's a child a paint brush he seized,
eager at heart at the very start. ~
