#Positivity

A friend of mine started this #Positivity campaign (on Facebook) the other day & as I am a “pro” POSITIVITY, I grabbed the chance to do it and tweek it a little… I chose to share flowers, because they give this beauty that eases our moods and emotions (ladies, you know what I mean right? :) ) As of today – there are 27 people who liked the post (and counting) So, I search various types of flowers that looks familiar to me but not the names . . . 
 
On this blog I would like to share my top 10 – favorite flowers I’ve seen and now finally learned its names. Some I usually see but didn’t know its name – while some are totally new and others are famous!

1. ASTER

I always loved seeing these flowers, didn’t know its name. It has blue, pink, darker purple, red, white and more!

 

 

2. CALENDULA

This flower is a very prominent flower way back in my elementary days. My school had this garden and these flowers seemed to blossom effortlessly! Now I know its name!

 

3. VERONICA

All the while I thought its only a name. Every time I think of this name, I imagine blue – and indeed it is blue :)

 

4. STAR OF BETHLEHEM 

The Star of Bethlehem is a symbol of purity, atonement & reconciliation.

 

5. LOBSTER CLAW

We used to have this in our place… Now that name makes sense! This reminds me of my grandma. Lola Tanciang… May God bless her soul ^^. Some people call it False Bird of Paradise.

 

6. DRUMSTICK (Flower) 

It is the flower we ofter see on movies — blown and its petals simply fly :) Variation of different colours do exist.

 

  

 

7. CATTLEYA

This flower reminds me of a notebook I lost during my first day in Highschool. hehehe

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. CEREUS

Known as Night Blooming Cereus – a flower that blooms only once and during at night. It is believed that each flower has a partner flower somewhere & they bloom together. Once the partner flower dies – it dies as well. My mom has this one in our terrace :)

 

 

8. BABY’s BREATH

Those small white flowers often used as an accessory to the wedding flowers! Design all alone, it could create something as beautiful as this!

 

9. PERENNIAL FLOWERS 

Because I love green, I found this flower for no. 9 :)

 

10. ROSES

Probably the most common flower loved by everyone. 

 

May these beautiful flowers somehow spreads positivity :) Wish the internet has the scent button to smell them too!

 

Cheers to positivity! 

 

God loves us!

    I’ve always wondered what those small white flowers were called since I have them all over my apartment. Funny that I never took the time to look it up. I would have never guessed that it would be called Baby’s Breath. I also love the name Veronica and had no idea it was also a name to a flower :)

    This is such a great campaign, we all need some kind of encouragement at some point. I love the idea of sharing these flowers, I am a plant enthusiastic as well and these just made me feel really happy. I have a lot of pictures of Calendula on my phone and I never knew it’s name :) khaa
