There’s not only the sweeping view of the mountains to enjoy, but also the different species of flora along the trails. I take pleasure in stopping by and taking snaps of the lovely flowers and odd-shaped plants. Even sometimes when I walk down the streets, some do bring lovely memories.

Here’s my photo collection:

The balloon plant are green hairy ball flowers, a popular ornamental plant for florist . They are a food plant for caterpillars. Reminds me of the butete, just saying.

Wild orchids of Mt. Madjaas

and there’s yellow..

The red mouth of the carnivorous pitcher plant 😉

Younger pitcher plant.

Pitcher plants are seen a lot in Mt. Madjaas esp. on the knife edge ridge

Reddish and brownish pitcher plants

Peeking inside, checking if there are any dead flies.

Wonderful torch-shaped wildflower

Lantana Camara or “Utot-utot” flowers, a common sight in the hills.

Smell the fragance

Lilies at Macau. “Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless; peacocks and lilies for instance.” – John Ruskin

Makahiya. Like a child, I love watching the small and shy leaves close when touching it. “Mimosa pudica is a creeping annual or perennial herb often grown for its curiosity value”.

Ants with them.

Trees are shades and sometimes umbrella mushrooms reminds you of them. Clinging on a dying tree.

A Panacea.

Yellow or peach at Babag

Flowers do cry.

Ohhh Katchubongsss, plenty of them in one blooming tree! Near Lake Balinsasayao.

Pretty in red.

Like butterflies

Growing near the falls of Budlaan.

A color among the greens

Too white.

Found along the trail. Ginger Flower also called as Siam Tulip (Curcuma alismatifolia). One day, you will be my wedding bouquet flower :)) (No Copying Allowed)

Somebody had thrown a plastic bottle along the trail. LNT @ Mt. Pinatubo.

Simply yellow.

Barely noticeable when walking on a meadow.

Gumamela, yellow and blooming.

Graceful in Red @ Siargao

Some palm trees have fruits like a carved wood. At Bojo River.

Tree flowers at Macau

I walk through them by the streets. Watching them close and take pleasures

They are in amusement parks like in Disneyland.

I see love everywhere, along the trails or down the streets or up the skies. Poetry in Nature.

There is a garden of cucumbers under the sea! But look who’s watching over them. Sea cucumbers are marine animals btw.
