Blooming flowers with beautiful colors

This month my country has entered the rainy season besides the rain that falls at no time, sometimes in the morning, afternoon, evening and it has also rained all day long. Apart from being constrained by laundry that takes a long time to dry and other things that become obstacles. Apart from that, the disaster caused by prolonged rains also resulted in floods and landslides in several areas in my country and recently there was an earthquake and flash flood which was very severe causing damage to buildings such as houses, places of worship and even casualties.

May our brothers and sisters who are being afflicted by a calamity be given abundant patience for the calamity that occurs.

Besides the rainy season has come. This month is also a month full of colors. The colors I mean are several beautiful flowers blooming beautifully at the same time. And I really like to see it. There are many flowers that I saw blooming like frangipani flowers etc. Here are some flowers that took photos. These flowers grow in the school yard where I teach and also in my parents-in-law's house. These flowers are classified as old flowers and are still planted to this day, and some of them are often used as learning objects.

Asoka flower

Ashoka tree is a tree that is considered sacred by Hinduism. The tree will smell fragrant at night in April and May every year. This plant tree is often associated with love and purity.

The scientific name of this ASOKA flower is Saraca asoca. In India, this flower is considered a sacred flower by Hindus and Buddhists, they think that the spreader of the asoka flower was born right under this tree.

The name Ashoka comes from Sanskrit which means without sorrow, so it's no wonder that this flower is considered sacred by Hindus and Buddhists. Ashoka flowers have a variety of flower shapes, which are clustered with a common color of bright red, but some are pink, yellow, to orange, with four stamens and anthers on the crown.

Ashoka, meaning without sorrow. Meanwhile in Europe, people call asoka the flame of the wood, or the flames in the forest. This is because the color of the Ashoka flower is bright, like a flame.

Paper flower

Paper flower or bougainvillea is a popular ornamental plant. The shape is a small tree that is difficult to grow upright. Its beauty comes from the sheath of flowers which are brightly colored and attract attention because they grow thickly.

The scientific name for paper flowers is Bougainvillea which also has many colors. Incidentally the purple paper flower that I took the picture. And there are many other colors of paper flowers. Incidentally, this color is growing a lot of flowers and they are very beautiful. It is suitable as a photo background.

And I call these paper flowers Indonesian cherry blossoms because these flowers are often planted in the yard after the asoka flowers because the beautiful colors make the home page beautiful and bright.

Hibiscus flower

Hibiscus is a shrub of the Malvaceae tribe originating from East Asia and widely grown as an ornamental plant in tropical and subtropical regions. Large flowers, red and odorless. The scientific name for the hibiscus flower is Hibiscus rosa-sinensis. This flower also has flowers with very bright and beautiful colors when it is thriving. Hibiscus flowers are also often used as learning objects in biology because these flowers are suitable as examples of learning. In biology, this flower is classified as a complete flower or perfect flower because there are "pistils and stamens" in one flower. In flowers, the pistil is the female genitalia while the stamens are the male genitalia.

Mondokaki flower

Mondokaki is a flora originating from India which has spread to Southeast Asia and other tropical regions. In Indonesia, this plant is known as mondokaki, wari flower, nyingin flower, butter flower, milk flower, manila flower, susong flower. Flowers are almost like jasmine and some even mention this flower is jasmine. Flowers that have a pure white color are often used as ornamental plants such as ASOKA and are used as bridal hair ornaments. I also took this flower in the school yard.

Tabernaemontana divaricata is the scientific name of this flower. Mondokaki has oval and rather thick leaves. The leaf margin is flat with a pointed tip and base and the upper surface is smooth and shiny. Mondokaki flowers are white. In the middle the color is yellow, with a diameter of 5 cm and fragrant.
