Fanciful Flora
Best viewed large.
These are only some of the flowers in my grandmother’s garden. She really loves her plants and flowers. Whenever we go home to Bacolod for the holidays, these are the ones who usually greet us first before we go inside. The pink ones are bougainvillas. I don’t know the names of the rest, sorry.
