A rainy afternoon



Its 10:00 in the morning and I feel sleepy because of the weather. There's another storm in the country, luckily not that strong. I was staring at the window mesmerized by the raindrops that falls from the sky. Then I saw the flowers at our garden some of it fell because of the heavy rain. I suddenly felt the urge to take some pictures of the beautiful flowers. I felt that the plants are sad because of the rain.....


          After an hour or so the rain stopped. I can see the the sun peeping through the sky. Then I thought the plants are not sad during the rain 'coz it also need some water to live. It gives them energy and food to produce more gorgeous flowers.

Kalachuchi or Temple flower
 Kalachuchi is used as a fresh floral necklace or bracelet in many beaches here in the Philippines. It is a simple plant that can be seen in many gardens in the country. We have like 8 pots of Kalachuchi in our garden. I also love plants I do some gardening if I'm not busy, some of the Kalachuchi was planted by my grandmother so I really take care of them. Its like a remembrance from my grandma.


Euphorbia
   Don't exactly know what species of Euphorbia this is. But it is so pretty. This one is colored pink with strikes of yellow. They are a dangerous plant if you mishandled this. They have thorns and a milky sap, when your planting this you should wear protective gloves. My grandma said that they don't love waters, they only need enough water to live. Rainy weather reminds me of many things just like my grandma. AS the saying says "There is always a rainbow after the rain."
