The all time local favourites in this country are the Bougainvillea & the Crown of Thorns (botanical name is the Euphorbia Milli). Almost every household here will at least have a pot of either one of these two plants at the surroundings of their home. This two types of plants are much favoured by the locals because they survive well in the tropical, humid climate of this country and of course, the colourful flowers that they produced.
Cheerful, brightly coloured Bougainvillea to greet every visitor & guest to our home. Bougainvillea actually grows well in well-drained medium & will produce more blooms when they are actually 'stressed' ie. dry, lack of water.
Our collection of the Crown of Thorns (Euphorbia Milli), bought the first 'baby' back in 2004 and looking forward to add more varieties of different sizes of blooms in various shades of white, biege, yellow and bi-colours.

Thanks kakz for visiting my blog..still need a lot of tiding up to do. Still a newbie to all these IT stuff..my daughter is my tutor right now. Especially the Bougainvillea, its a hot favourite among my aunts & uncles in Malacca/Pahang. It really makes us feel so welcomed to be greeted by these beautiful, brightly coloured petals.
Do visit me often for more updates.
