Wild Flowers in the Outfield

Jap Adupe 10 years ago12:01 am (UTC/GMT -8 HRS) 6 Sep , 2009

What’s in a name?
A flower will still be a flower, though growing wild and uncared for. Dainty and frail, they thrive well and good outside the backyard fence basking at the sunshine, facing the vast, wide expanse of almost endless ricefields.

Ano an yaon sa ngaran?
An burak fermi nang burak, maski nagbutwa sa katangyanan. Saradit man saka delikado, marhay an tubo asin dakul sa likod kan kudal sa libod nagpaparigos sa saldang, sa atubang kan mahiwas, haros daing katapusan na paruyan.

This looks dainty and pretty. Reminds me of the violet hedges at home where we sometimes spread our washed clothes to dry. Sometimes we sipped the nectar ourselves in competition to the bees and it tasted so sweet. 🙂 What a fond memory!
