Flowers on Sentosa Island

This post features the flowers I saw on my Sentosa Island outing. Though there were not many, my best encounter was with these Octopus Tree flowers that were about a meter above eye level. Considering that these trees were always towering over me at heights of 5 meters - those at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, on Mount Faber and near Sungei Buloh Wetlands Nature Reserve and MacRitchie Reservoir - I was really lucky to come this close to these flowers.

Unknown. These flowers were on the ground and I did not see any plant nearby that had these flowers. Perhaps I did not look above me. I like the tiny flower pattern encased in the pentagon-shaped centre.
One of my favourite flowers - the frangipani (plumeria)

The Thunbergia, faithful vine.

Celosia spicata out in full force.

Too late to see the flowers. Instead there were small berry-like fruits at the top of this plant that I do not know the name of.

My daughter called me to wish me Happy Mother's Day. My son asked what I would like for a present and I told him I would like to have his presence instead. Nevertheless, I am warmed by their thoughts for me.

Yes! Finally I have flowers that do a great deal to beautify this blog the way they beautified the HortPark with their pretty shades of pink. Friday flowers - anticipation.

Pink is the colour of baby girls. They get everything in pink because they are unable to protest and tell you that it is not a colour they like. I wonder if these flowers had a choice, what colour or colours would they have chosen.
