Blooming...

  1. How very lovely your native flowers are - I was wondering if the white flower is jasmin or frangipani - the one that smells so strongly like fresh soap! Have never seen one like the pink flower either.

    1. The first image is the pink variety of HOYA REVOLUBILIS according to my findings; a Hoya catalogue can be found here http://rare-hoyas.com/Catalog.htm. The third image’s bright pink flower is a variety of Kalachuchi or Temple flower. It is not native to our country but I think it is Thailand or Philippines and adapted to our country. Yes the white flower is a type of Jasmine and not very fragrant like common jasmine types. We use jasmines to worship Lord Buddha. Our religion is Buddhism.
