If I could pick just “one” subject to photograph for the rest of my life, It would be FLOWERS. Mine is very very very easy, because the flowers are scattered around my house, no matter where they are.
Every morning, we always collect the flowers that fell on the yard, whether it’s pink frangipani flowers, yellow and white frangipani, Jasmines, or other fragrant flowers, We put it in some bowls made of pottery as “Wellcome Flowers” at the front entrance. Every one passes by my house loves them and many people take some of the flowers to be brought home too. so the flowers were not wasteful until they completely wilted! 🙂
I wonder if the rest of my life was over, who would do this?

Setiap pagi, kami selalu mengumpulkan bunga-bunga yang jatuh di halaman, apakah itu bunga kamboja merah muda, kamboja kuning-putih, melati, atau bunga harum lainnya, kami tempatkan ke dalam beberapa mangkuk yang terbuat dari gerabah sebagai “Bunga Selamat Datang” di depan pintu masuk. Setiap orang melewati rumah saya menyukainya dan banyak orang mengambil beberapa bunga untuk dibawa pulang juga. sehingga bunga-bunga itu tidak mubazir sampai mereka benar-benar layu! 🙂
Saya berfikir jika sisa hidup saya sudah berakhir, siapa yang akan melakukan hal ini?

What a beautiful idea. I hope it is a tradition that will be carried on forever.

It is only my habit. I am not sure if my children would do this. Most of my neighbors are having no flowering trees at their houses. That’s why I always wonder about it. Gallivanta.

Aa Yes ! I have never thought about it. She always share the joys with me every time every day. At least she will recall our days when she grownup and starts doing it. Thank you, Gallivanta. You are so attentive! 🙂

Hi Mohammad.
On my trips to Maui I enjoy the “plumeria” (that’s what they are called on Maui). The pink are wonderful, but the white are most common over there.
Thanks for sharing, my friend. Tom The Backroads Traveller

Hello Tom,
I am so glad that you can share your experience in Maui with me. If you come to Bali, you can also see people wearing white plumeria (frangipani) in their hairs. Thanks for your nice thought, my friend. 🙂

This custom is wonderful on many levels – when you go around and pick up the fallen flowers, you honor them and your attention is brought to bear on something others might not notice, and it slows you down and shows an appreciation for all of nature. And when you offer the flowers for passers by to see, the generosity and warmth of that gesture is delightful. This is the spirit of a deep, pleasurable and wise connection to life. Thank you for showing us!
