Dandelion …. Fly where the wind takes you…

Everytime I see a photo of Dandelion, I can’t help myself but bring the childish imagination in me. Just like photos on children’s story book, I picture myself I’m Thumbelina or an insect that ride on a dandelion seeds like parachuting…. No exact direction… but fly where the wind takes me.



I’m just like that… Sometimes I ride on a public (passenger) vehicle without knowing where the destination is. This really thrilled me… I love adventure…

Who Cut the Tulips?

I made a blog post about the little buds that were slowly growing and spring time finally arrived last April 11. And early this month the tulips started to bloom. As my first year here in Ca, I am excited to see flowers that I only saw in photos and tulips are one of those.

We have a bed of tulips along the driveway at home and each flowers that bloom gives us excitement especially that it comes in different five colors.

But today as we arrived from a 6 hour drive we discovered that all flowers were gone. We are all upset especially when we saw the flowers  and petals scattered on the road. Some are stamped by feet that looks like the one who did it have so much hatred with the flower. One tulip was even uprooted!



I would feel better if they cut it and give to somebody to cheer up a person. But seeing the petals in the road is disappointing.

I found three cut flowers that are still good and put in a glass with water. Somehow we can see the beauty of it for more several days.



Who cut the tulips? It remains a mystery for us…

Name the Flower Please...

This one is taken by my sister. I forgot to ask the name of this beautiful flower. Carnation? Peony? I’m just guessing anyway…. Do you know its name?

The Porcupine Flower

Okay I admit I do not know the name of this flower. But please allow me to call it “Porcupine Flower”, because of the thorny look of its petals. But unlike porcupine, it doesn’t sting when you touch it; it’s actually delicate and soft to touch. When it withers, the individual or group of petals forms like a rose, it turned like tiny bouquet of roses. Too bad I forgot to take a photo of a withered “Porcupine Flower”.
