Of flowers...

Oroquieta City, Misamis Occidental


I believe I have a green thumb. Meaning I am good at growing things, anything I plant will grow good. After I learned marcotting method from my science teacher when I was in elementary, I experimented what was taught through my neighbor’s plant. I was amazed of the result. It worked. The roots began to scatter inside the plastic that covered the branch. Since then, I learned to appreciate ornamental and flowering plants and started planting bougainvillea, dancing lady, African daisy, among others around our house.  


When my plants have grown up and started flowering, I realized how magnificent God is. He created beautiful flowers of different sizes and forms. I barely see my plants now that I am away working in Manila. When I am on vacation, only then that I get to take care of them. At home, I have several pots of flowering plants that until now have been flowering and well taken care of by my mother. When I see flowers, they give me joy and happiness. They uplift my spirit and I become in love with nature. Afterall, life’s simple pleasures are just around, guaranteed inexpensive and sometimes free. You just have to learn to appreciate them.
