a yellow rose.

The yellow rose is flowering,  fresh looking and really make Kakdah very happy. I can almost tell whenever something was  blooming outside, when she opened the door early in the morning and shouted "look, my flower is blooming!". The emotional outburst is identical every time. I also accept her claim of "my flower is blooming". Flowering plants are legally hers, as vegetables mine.

It was early last year, that I went up to Cameron Highlands with friends. Kakdah did not follow. We went up to negotiate with Selvaraja for rooftop gardening watering system. It is always cheap up there. I bought two potted roses for kakdah, yellow and red. The red rose did not last long, died within a month. The yellow rose survive til today, still in the same pot. So this yellow is quite a survivor, alright in it's original place Cameron Highland, alright in Tanah Merah our former place, and still alright here in Johor, coping well after 12 hours journey from Tanah Merah to Johor end of last year.

The yellow rose is sweet, very fresh indeed. 
On beauty, 
Kakdah could narrate 
better either in words 
or feeling.

    Now you are here again Bangchik, you were absent for awhile! When i saw the rose, i thought Kakdah relieved you from blogging. haha! The rose gives you the balance although of course the vegies have flowers too. Maybe you prefer the ampalaya flowers better than rose.

      yes, I was absent from blogging quite a while. I am getting older, as everyone is, but the absence is due to tight schedule. Being away again and again. Gourd flowers are exotic!

      she is fond of roses. She still talks about a special red rose our second son bought during his primary school trip to Cameron Highlands 10 years ago.

    That is so beautiful and detailed. I can see each fold in the petals. So well captured.
