BLOOMING FRIDAY: Feeling Blue.

 There are days when we feel depressed for no reason at all. Just go out and look at colours. They are soothing.... I will start with blue....

  4. It lightens my blue mood a bit looking at your bright coloured flowers Bangchik. Here has been raining from morning till evening, cant go anywhere, even the garden looks so drab with rain-soaked plants!

  5. Hello, Friday is off-day here in Kelantan.

    >> Ellada:
    Yes, what's there to worry, if that hurts you more. For today, we feel sad for friends in Japan, with quake and tsunami.

    >> tooey2010:
    If you like them photos, I am happy already, so the day is less blue. In fact the sky has not been blue for 3 days already. It is nice to have drizzle...

    >> Theanne and Baron
    We are on the opposite side of the globe,so we sort of taking your sun, when you people sleep. Have a nice and happy days ahead.

    The recent wet days in a way had healed painful days without rains. No rain at all here after Raya Cina. At least the grass is GREENING!!

  7. Your MIL has a colorful garden. About the only color around here is white. White, as in snow. Our day is coming. Spring will eventually make an appearance.

    I can imagine the green Cerok Tokun. I spent two years in a boarding school somewhere there mid 70's. F4 and F5.
    But Tanah Merah isn't supposed to be green!!

    donna.....
    White is nice too... snow or flowers. I wonder why wedding dress is always white....

  11. It's definitely a Blue Friday with the Tsunami.

    I remember you mentioned you wanted to add blue to the garden in Putrajaya previously. It was butterfly pea, right?

    ReplyDelete
  12. One
    The only blue here in Tanah Merah garden is clitoria ternatea or bunga telang or butterfly peas. It's double petal here... in putrajaya we had single petal type, and we forgot to take seeds here.

  13. Such pretty clours, everything is still asleep here in the garden.

  14. I came back to view your MILs beautiful flowers and discovered there has been a horrific earthquake in Japan...and a tsunami threatening the islands and countries around the quake center. I too am very worried for my all my blog friends in this area and for all who have been or will be affected by this.

  15. Doc......
    At least your garden manages to get a short nap, and wakes up fresh in Spring. Our garden is working day day out, I wonder if it ever get tired and bored.

    Theanne and Baron.....
    Thanks for your concern. It is safe here for now. Tanah Merah is 40km inland.... We just hope they are alright in Japan..

    Hibiscus never overstay their presence, they bow to say goodbye at the height of beauty and stardom.

    To have a colourful life, i suppose we need to be surrounded with colourful things.... and colourful dreams... and colourful character....

    Carrie
    You are right carrie about colours. What painters would be without colours.... aha.

    Janet
    I need a contrasting colour immediately after blue. Hibiscus is traditionally RED...

  30. >>>Suss o Kai...
    Thanks, red is very flashy. Pictures were taken in the morning, the best for flowers.

    >>>>kitchen flavours...
    Blue is not the typical colour for flowers, but sweet in their own way.

    >>>>My garden haven...
    Thanks for giving the name of the plant!!.. I wont forget "plumbago". About petua... dont know, it must be about giving what plants require... pamper them a bit la.

    >>>>Malar...
    She is the better one. I am not, tahu tentang sayur saja!.. aha.

    >>>James Missier...
    Thanks James, yes, the colour has depth. Capturing them in the morning with the camera also helps, after midday all flowers like us also, are very tired, limping, like going for a nap!

    >>>Priscilla...
    Thanks priscilla, I really have to think about organic seeds giveaways. I have a few in hand, stylish award write-up.... see what I can do.
