Do You Know What We Call Lantana?

Today's Flowers

Maybe you are already aware of the weird names we gave to flowers, beautiful flowers. Like these Lantana.

Lantana! A beautiful name. For beautiful sweet flowers.
What do we call them in Malaysia?
Hua ha ha haaaa ... Taik ayam flowers (translated: chicken waste/dung flowers!) Now, who's idea was that? Hua ha ha haaaa!!

Well forever more, they sure are the prettiest heaps of dung I have ever seen. ;-) I am still trying to figure out how to get seeds from them.

Blossom, You're so funny. Maybe it is the smell. They're not exactly the sweetest of scents but they're so pretty.

Regina said...

Lovely lantana.

Pacey said...

Did you know it's also called Ham and Eggs? B'coz of its resemblance in color to ham and eggs. :)
