Fruit & Flora Escapade

in Wednesday Walk3 years ago

review in rhyme (1).png
Off to the park I went for a walk as I make the effort to add to my daily activity. As I brisked walked I stopped to take pictures of the flowers along the route. Custodian of Wednesday Walk @tattoodjay is an amazing photographer, and I know I am nowhere close to his awesome skills, but still, I'll like to share my humble clicks and hope you enjoy this little fruit & flora escapade;D

This was probably planted by the residents who live on the other side of the fence. We call this fruit Jambu Air also known as Rose Apple. Though one of my favourite local fruits, I did not take any even though it is on federal land, just in case the person who planted the tree was watching me ;p

As a child, I'd pinch the bulbs so I could hear them pop. No, no - I don't do that anymore.

Look at this bougainvillaea! I wish the one in my house would look as happy as this one.

As a child, I'd suck the nectar from these flowers. Again, I don't do this anymore ;p

This flower I have actually never seen before. I am not entirely sure what they are... maybe you can fill me in.

Spider lilies, very common here.

Again, this jackfruit tree was probably planted by a resident on federal land. Sometimes arguments break out over who can pluck these fruits. Does it belong to anyone or only to the person who planted it even though it is on land that does not belong to them? What do you think?

I had to google to find out the name of this flower. I believe it is a Red Ginger. And as you can see the leaves are wet, because it had just rained.

And right after that, I put my phone away so I could continue with my walk. I realise sometimes I am so caught up with getting to my destination, I don't stop to smell the roses, and in this instance to appreciate these little pops of nature magic all around, everywhere.

So if you would like to take part in this challenge, then click on THIS to find out how.

I do appreciate your time & being part of my story <33

Sort:  

Spider lily is so beautiful, have not seen one in many years mine only lasted a short time perhaps not happy.

Jackfruit and little rose apple not seen here, other flowers very similar, if not the same as many we have over here.

Lovely walk and stop offs to collate beautiful photography in nature.

These are tropical fruits, perhaps that's why
But interesting to know that your flowers are similar

Thank you for dropping in @joanstewart <33

Many similarities with sub-tropical conditions, even nature moves around!

Funny. We picked fresh jackfruit when we were in Central America but no one ever said you need a chainsaw to get to the good stuff.

I think if you had used your strong, manly hands, you could have ripped it apart haha

Actually, I have never tried cutting one of these open... but I am thinking it's a chainsaw of jackfruit... what would one use for durians ;p

The bougainvillea! I had one tree and I'm grateful :)

Have a great day :)

I have one too
But it does not flower like this

You came across some beautiful flowers on your walk :)

thanks for joining WEdnesday Walk and have a great day

I think if it's in public the food should be for everyone. Anyway, there's enough to share!

!ALIVE !PIZZA

Because they are planted and cared for by one resident it because very sticky

I don't touch any of them, just in case the "planter" does not believe in sharing ;D

😂 I don't blame you! Angry neighbors are the worst!

Thank you for joining me on this walk :D

Hello. It was nice and useful. I tried to do a post myself, but obviously I need more diligence. Have a nice day!🍁🍀

Inspiring, we have similar plants in the park just in front of my current location barring that of Jackfruit but we had a couple of them in our parental house. I like that yellow flower that I used to call the "Loudspeaker" flower when I was too young. Later that yellow Kaner and Gudhal the red hibiscus became the objects of our painting in Highschool.

Flower from my park

Was it called loudspeaker because you popped them too? :D

Yep, loudspeaker

That's a very pretty flower
From this angle, I can't say if we have something like this here
But then again, I am also terrible at observing nature around me
Time to change that :D

Check if you have yellow oleander in your area, this is what this yellow flower is known in English.

And I shall :D

Wow those little rose apples look delicious, infact all of your photos of those sensational flowers are brilliant!

there's nothing better than having a wander through such vibrant colours and pretty frilly ladies like them is there.

Thanks for sharing such a lovely walk and those beautiful girls in their ballerina dresses too!

Thank you for joining in me on my walk :D

No thankyou for taking me along. I hope that I wasn't to loud or demanding for you! 🤣

Loud people always gravitate towards me
I welcome them :D

Haaaa, good I'm so glad that I fit in then! 🤣

I don't know why, but I want to eat those flowers, glad to see that you had the same idea with the nectar!

You want to eat the flowers hahaha
Hey, actually MarianneWest apparently brings salads with flowers as her contribution to potluck parties
And that's when I found out it was a thing haha
So, if you ever visit... ;p

Yes! I heard of it!

But me personally, I would just munch the flower like it was cotton candy, it would probably taste like shit and I would puke.

That's drunk Ed if one day we party.

Drunk Ed sounds like fun
As long he not throwing up anywhere near me 😜
