Title: Hibiscus 1
Location: Kuala Lumpur Lake Garden, Malaysia
Date: 30 July 2009, 12:43pm
Camera: Nikon D60 with Aperture: f/7.1, ISO Equiv.: 100
The first three pictures were captured earlier at Kuala Lumpur Lake Garden. Hibiscus is the national flower of Malaysia and state of Hawaii. The flower was chosen to be the national flower by Malaysia's first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman in 1960.
There are many varieties, but the five-petaled Hibiscus rosa sinensis was chosen above the others, as the most symbolically relevant. The five petals of the bunga raya symbolise the Rukunegara (the Five Principles of Nationhood), while the colour red represents courage.

This flower is known for its medicinal properties. The roots of the plant are used as a cure for fever and other ailments, while the juice obtained from the leaves and roots is said to be effective in relieving skin eruptions and glandular troubles. Also, the petals were commonly used as cosmetics to darken and highlight women's eyebrows.

I found these stacks of images lying on my hard drive. When I first started taking DSLR photos, I am not even a blogger. The collection of images consists of different themes (KL Orchid Park, My House, Forest Research Institute of Malaysia - FRIM and stray cats). I decided to select some of those pictures, put it in my blog with simplified description.
I guess I am not going to write the finer points about my journey to KL Butterfly Park...maybe next post. Please do click on the site map to read more about my travelogue.
