My mini magic flower is flowering again and so much of it. So I take new ones. So lovely to look at this closely, so cute and it's like tiny lamp.
This is "mayana" we called it here, also called as herbal medicinal plant. There are many kinds of variety of this plants. This is just one of it.
One of the unique and colorful leaves of bougenville. This is just new plant so I keep this in the shadow for now otherwise this will go to the rest of my bougainville with all different kinds of colors standing on top of fence. I have several kinds of bougainville. As shown on this picture the flower has single petal only. The others has several numbers of petals (they called it here, doble-doble, means double). Many people here create their own way of fertilize the plants like "urea". Funny and unique about it is, they use their own urea. How I called "morning piss!!!" they mixed it with water a value of one hink. Way of minimize the cost instead of buying. I try to make some compost here, all waste leaves and wild plants they dig up I put it all together and cover with plastic and mix some soil and left overs from cutting woods. Does it work? Bougainville loves it and flowering so nicely.
Here are some vougainville standing just one part. Most of this stand on pots. If you plant this on soil they will love it and grow big and become mini tree. Many people like it to put on pots easy to control the size and they love to change places to display their lovely flowers.

The story of this plant. This plant is a tree that grows along the side of the seashore. They thought this will not grow far from the sea. Well, I have number of seeds from this as you can see above that is the seed of this flower. I find this an interesting plant. A plant that is a tree growing. The local people called this tree as BITU-ON. Bitu-on means a star. I wonder why they called this a star? So I asked but nonthing really knows why. Strange and funny. I will keep asking this next time I see this tree again. This gives a unique flower. Once the flower is gone it turn to a big seed that I used for seedling. I have number of growing seedling in my pot here in my garden. I will still try to find a location where I can plant this plant that one day will become a tree. Another plant that I need to know and search the origin.
One of the orchid flower here. This is not origin in the Philippines. The name of this orchid they called it here is Banda Orchid, and it is hybrid. I tried to search in the internet but right now my connection is so slow. When I will find it I will attach the information next time about this orchid.

Second flower has reddish color and has different structure of each petal of the flower.
Third flower has yellow color and has white hanging (sort of tail).
These 3 flowers I have no idea the name. I ask my father-in-law to help me to search names of every flowers I send to him.
And, I am still looking and searching. Here in the Philippines they create their own name of the flowers and each has different from every person.
