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?

Day of Desserts! Went to celebrate a friend's birthday at Swensen's . Tried their Sizzling Pan - Walnut Rocky Road - Choc pie with choc ice cream with butterscotch & marshmallows topped with walnuts and choc chips in a sizzling pan.. absolutely sinful. ♥ Then we had Choc fondue..but it wasn't that fantastic (for me) as it was dark chocolate..prefer the hazelnut choc one! Cheers to you JM! Lots of Hugs and Kissies!

This time the story revolves around Percy - who is a Greek demi-god who gets switched into the Roman Camp by Juno/Hera. He has to work with the Roman Demi-Gods (kids who has 1 parent whose a Roman God/dess) on a quest to release Death and save all of them from being destroyed. Riordan still writes with the same flair that keeps your glued and wanting to know more. I enjoyed this read - only part is that *spoiler alert!*             it's somewhat a cliffhanger! The second book - I didn't really fancy - perhaps I'm too old to appreciate it. It was written by a 13-yr old French Novelist. I wonder if the beauty of the story has gotten lost with the translation. It's a story of 3 girls on a quest to save Fairytale. Oddly, Death is on strike here and t...
