Litratong Pinoy #7: Umaapoy

Posted on May 15, 2008 by sardonicnell

Ang naisip kong lahok sa linggong ito ang mga larawan ng isang bulaklak o halaman na kong tawagin nila ay, Fire Lantanas. Ito’y isang perennial flowering plant na madalas umusbong sa maiinit na rehiyon ng America at Africa. Ang halamang ito ay may kakaiba ring halimuyak at madalas makitang may tumutubong berries kasama ng mga nag gagandahang bulaklak.

ang ganda ng mga bulaklak na ito mukha ngang umaapoy. gusto ko ang mga ganitong shots pero bago pag-aaralan ko pa at kailangan ko rin bumili ng lens 🙂 Salamat sa pagdalaw!

thank you, nina. thanks for the kind compliment. ako po eh hamak na self taught litratista, basa ng konti and then ina-aaply ko agad. hehehe! i’m sure you can take photos like this, ikaw pa 😉

Naalala ko ang mga bulaklak na ito na kulay dilaw at yung iba magkahalong rosa at puti…ngayon ko lamang nakita ang maapoy na kulay at maganda!!! At oo Kantutay nga ang tawag jan, ang kulit naman talaga ng mga komento ni jeprocks! hehe. Maligayang LP!

maraming salamat, g_mirage. ngayon ko nga lang nalaman (thanks to jeprocks) na kantutay pala ang tawag dito, maganda ang name nya hah, hehehe. and i’ve seen different colors of this lantanas, may nakita pa nga akong purple and then may white rin. sa backyard and sideyard ko palang eh marami ng kantutay, hahaha! salamat sa pagbisita, magandang araw 😉

Jeprocks, ano kamo? Lanta Na? he he, mais mais..sorry po mr.botanist….seryusli, si jeprocks ay botanist yan by degree…o free endorsement pa!

Hallush Nell!! Pakiss muna muaaaaahhhh! ayan basang basa buong mukha mo pati ni Nicho (kasi naman laging nasa tabi mo eh, hehehe) seryusli, ang ganda nitong flower na ito. type ko hanapin ang seeds hah…pwede pa kaya ako magtanin, lapit na summer eh.

regards from Holland darling 🙂

beso beso at mahihigpit na yakap sayo, sis thess. that’s from me and sa aking anak-anakan na si nicho. mwaaah! aba aba, botanist pala itong si kapatid na jeprocks. that’s very good to hear, no wonder alam nya ang mga bagay bagay ukol sa halaman. and speaking of seeds, i’m sure meron nyan for sale sa iyong suking plant nursery. ito ngang sa amin eh bigla nalang umusbong out of nowhere. ni-lecturan pa nga ako ni nicho at sabi, the bees plant it daw and it’s called pollination. palibhasa’y kakatapos lang nya manood ng ‘the bees’ movie, hehehe. sige sister at magtanim (ay di biro) ka dyan sa holland and let me know how it grows. thanks for the kind comment, love yah. miss you na, mwaaah 😀

maraming salamat, dang. naku etong lantanas na eto eh kusa lang yang umusbong sa aking backyard, may purple at white variety pa yan. hehehe! uy sorry to hear about your tulips, pero tama friend mo. pwede pa yang isauli sa walmart. why not try water hyacinths and place it on top of water sa isang vase. i have no green thumb at all, but this particular bulb plant grew lavishly under my care. hehehe! thanks for the kind compliment, dang. mwaaah 😀

ps: here’s a photo of what i’m talking about…

hello po. ang ganda naman. pwede kayang tumubo dito sa pinas yan?

hello nanay belen, salamat sa pagbisita. tingin ko eh tutubo naman eto sa pinas, sa temperate areas kasi sya umuusbong. check out the link and there should be more info about this particular plant. thanks again, God bless 😀

akathinitis on May 15, 2008 at 5:06 pm said:

Naaliw rin ako sa bulaklak na ito kasi parang bouquet na agad tapos may variation – isa yang parang shades of yellow-red at yung mas madalas na white-purple. Ako naman sa pagtatanong ko, ang alam kong pangalan, “mabaho” (o mabangho?) dahil nga sa kakaibang amoy. Irony ano?

thank you, akathinitis. now that you mention it, it does look like a bouquet. all the while eh akala ko eh damo lang sya backyard, di pala and even bloomed lavishly in my small garden. heheheh, thanks so much for the visit 😀

kongkong622 on May 15, 2008 at 5:24 pm said:

ay, may tanim din kaming ganyan. kamo, umaapoy din ang amoy nyan. di ba 🙂

totoo nga ba ang sinabi ni jeproks? kantutay ang pangalan nyan?

see u next LP!

hello kongkong. a couple bloggers said it is called kantutay, and even jeprocks (our house botanist) said the same, so looks like it is called that in our native language. hehehe! and tama ka, this particular plant has a distinct smell as well. happy week end 😉

Nell, i love the pictures. Those flowers look so beautiful… and so flaming red. Hindi pa ako nakakakita ng ganyan sa Pinas. Ngunit naaalala ko sa kanya ang isang puno na punong-puno ng pulang mga bulaklak… ang tawag doon ay Fire Tree.

thank you, keith. glad you like the photos. and speaking of fire tree, i have yet to see one. mai-google nga mamaya, hehehe. have a wonderful day, God bless

yun pala ang tawag sa bulaklak na yan. interesting names both for the english and tagalog ones. hehe. happy weekend!

i was very happy to learn the name of this flowers in tagalog. it sounds odd, dba? heheheh, happy week end rin sayo 😉

ZJ on May 18, 2008 at 12:52 am said:

Ang ganda ng kulay – siguradong nag-aapoy kapag kumpol-kumpol sila, lalo na pag malayo. Pareho din ng fire tree sa atin, di ba?
Totoo, kantutay nga ito sa Tagalog?

thanks zj. mukha ngang ‘kantutay’ ang name nya in our native language. sounds mabantot, pero maganda naman ang english name nya. dba? reminded me of our nanny before who married a briton. her name used to be lucrecia. pero ngayon eh lucy na sya. bongga dba? hehehe, thanks for the kind comment. God bless 😀

bw on May 19, 2008 at 6:14 am said:

Ang ganda ng kulay bro 🙂 Pulang pula at tunay na umaapoy. Sayang hindi ko malanghap ang halimuyak hehe 🙂

thank you, bw. madami ito sa likod bahay namin and they’re firing hot talaga sa paningin. specially pag summer or spring, dami pang colors. hehehe! as far as halimuyak, medyo kakaiba ang amoy nya. very light and distinct 😛
