In this first entry of AROUND US, allow me to show you my Bunga Raya Kuncup (the hibiscus flower that doesn't blossom!) that I have grown in my compound.
Bunga Raya Kuncup was one of my late mother's favorites. She called it Kembang Kantil (the dangling flower) and planted a lot of it around her kampung house where she lived until the late 70s. I remember that one of her Bunga Raya Kuncup trees, planted close to a window, grew to a height of about 10 feet and bore lots and lots of flowers.

ReplyDelete.saya pun suka dgn bunga raya kuncup ni, warnanya yg merah terang tu sangat cantik
ReplyDeletedulu pokok bunga ni ada di laman rumah lama saya tp kini telah ditebang
IBUINTAN, Terima kasih singgah ke entri sulung Around Us saya ini. Benar, warna merah bunga raya kuncup memang memikat mata. Ibuintan dah tebang? Yang saya tanam pun kena pangkas selalu sebab ia cepat merimbun. Bunganya juga cepat jatuh. Kena rajin menyapu. Tapi tak mengapalah, itulah agaknya makna bertaman.
Deletevery interesting blog. You seem to have a gift for growing. Thanks you. I wish I could stay longer.
