At last! I have been waiting for months, and at times I must admit, I had my doubts. It didn’t seem to be forthcoming. I thought I have nurtured her well. I have even pampered her - talked to her daily, attended to her, take care of her needs.
But she has not provided me with what my heart, eyes and senses’ desire.
I had thought of getting new one – to replace her that is. Two weeks ago on my way to a cousin’s wedding in Sg Buloh, I saw some lovely replacement by the roadside. A couple of them even bordered on exotic. I mean I am used to see those in reds and whites or a mixture of red and whites, call them pink if you must, but I seldom see those in yellow. Lovely, I thought.
But I decided to stick to what I have and now I am rewarded with its first bloom. How excited I was this morning to see these beautiful red petals, just starting to open up.
I am sure more are blooming in the next couple of days and I bet you that in a couple of weeks, my kemboja tree will be covered with beautiful red blooms and they will, to quote the late John Denver, fill up my senses!
Beautiful! Great start..
