Lovely Flowers

Here's the second clue to the giveaway I'm doing. I'll post the last clue on Friday, after which I shall reveal the rules of the game. Meanwhile just feast your eyes on these natural beauties.

Tulips

These beauties, often sold in florists, are also a cash boon to the largest tulip grower in the world aka Holland.

Rose of Sharon

Although they don't look like the typical rose these are no pushovers. The Koreans call them Mu-gung-hwa (무궁화).

Sampaguita

This white beauty is a species of jasmine native to the Phillippines...

Maple leaf

Well not exactly a flower, but I thought it looked nice so I put it up as well. :P

Lavender

Lavender is one of the sweetest flowers in my opinion. It is often used to send humans into deep sleep.

Chrysanthemum

If you like chrysanthemum tea then you must adore this yellow wonder. Sweet but strong like the sun, so much so that the Japanese Emperor, whose bloodline is said to have continued unbroken for millenia, adopted the flower as the imperial seal.

Edelweiss

Music lovers would probably be reminded of the classic song, but the name really belongs to this flower. It grows well on mountains especially in Europe.

Chinese hibiscus

Looks lovely, don't they? And it's so common along the way to Parliament House too. :P

Chamomile

One of the more popular flowers used in aromatherapy, chamomile possesses numerous healing properties. It also grows well in several countries with temperate climates.

Arabian coffee flowers

We usually love coffee so much that we only remember the coffee beans. But we must also remember, without the flower there would be no beans from the coffee plant XD

Great lovely ladies of nature. But remember, within them is hidden the clue that you will need to win the coming giveaway. So stay tuned once again for the real deal. :D

Meanwhile, there are some latest vids about fan tributes to the King of Pop. Check them out while Friday is coming.
