A beautiful flower?

wild flower

Nature doesn’t discriminate. Look at this simple flower. It looks beautiful. Yet it has no function at all. It is a common weed in the garden and is a hardy plant. The plant was growing all around the stump of my red palm.

    Sorry that you are wrong, Bengbeng. Flowers play important roles in the balance of ecology. You know, the bee thingy…

    it is true, jus bcoz it is of no direct use to me, that was my immediate thought :)

    If you focus only on the flower it’s a perfect beauty. There…. you just did it!!!

    Beng2, it is called wild passion fruit. We can eat the fruit when it is ripen. It is actually quite nice.

    Beng Beng, Yes! I agree with the others, It is a Passion Flower. They are a vining plant. Move it into a sunnier location and give it a trellis to climb on. It will look stunning if treated properly.

    it is a great idea. i just might do it. thanks!
