My Rose of Sharon is Blooming But.....

I finally have my first bloom! After months of waiting, my Rose of Sharon is now flowering but we are expecting a flash flood as the major river in our city is overflowing and heavy rain is expected. We have secured the house and I only hope that the flood would not be as bad as expected so my garden will be safe.

I would like to ask for your prayer for my host country, Thailand. Many of the provinces are now submerged in water and major roads are impassable. This weekend, the capital city, Bangkok, where I live, is expected to be hit hard by flash flood.

Although, I care for my garden but I care more for the millions of families that are affected.

Thank you for you prayers.

Rose On Fire

She stood alone in my garden.
She looked like a candlelight as a bud one night.

She's tiny yet fiery.
I can't just ignore her.
She seems to call my attention each time I pass by her.

"Won't you come to my garden? I want my roses to see you."

Pink and Pretty Flower Collection

This is my pretty pink collection for this week. These flowers are form different places -- my garden, by the side street, and somewhere else. Once photographed, they are already mine, planted here at my Heart's Garden.

It is said that pink is the color of happiness and is sometimes seen as lighthearted. What do you think of color pink?
