Hibiscus

It was a lovely Saturday afternoon and the flowers are in bloom. The hibiscus plant in particular, was blossoming really well..

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis

This is also Malaysia's national flower.. It comes in all sorts of colours and there are well over 200 species of hibiscus. I just found out that South Korea's national flower is also the hibiscus, but a different species.

Mr.Brownie just had a leak at the plant and is walking away nonchalantly.
Is that why the plant's growing so well and the flowers are so big and bright?

We have Hibiscuses down here in Africa. Even KwaZulu-Natal's South Coast is called the Hibiscus Coast. They are very pinkish red.

Ever wondered what music sports people and celebrities listen to? I was watching the Olympics swimming competition and the swimmers were walking to the pool. Suddenly I see Michael Phelps walking out with earphones.. I wonder what he's listening to? So here are a few pics of sports people/celebs and what I think they're listening to. All the pics aren't mine, I took 'em off the net, so credit goes to whoever that took the pics k?

A tangerine someone at work gave me. The Chinese believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that Mandarin oranges are given during the New Year to symbolize good wealth and prosperity. The orange actually symbolizes gold - given to the colour and all. With the economy slowing down and all, I still wish that you may have the best of health and happiness as you usher in the new year...and many oranges =)
