A bouquet for a day - 2

Bunga mawarku basah lagi! We had a thunderstorm yesterday. 5 minutes before the pour, I took the pruner and headed out to cut whatever blooms I have in the garden, especially the ones blooming full. TIP 1: These aged blooms won't last. Bring them indoors can extend their lives.

Trading off the long peduncle!

I look at the long peduncle of this one rose of mine. It’s long and sturdy for that single blooming rose, indicating all the care (fertilizers, watering, etc) had been right.

Instead of feeling happy about this little achievement, I kind of feel sad.

Ku tanam pokok bunga, bunga mawar namanya...

It's a kindergarten song but I remember learning it in primary school. I can't recall what year or Standard (Grade) it was. My 5 years-old daughter took fond of Ku Tanam Pokok Bunga when she heard me sang.
