I show you red and white bougainvillea because they have high contrast with each other, indeed there are many other colours variety.  Now, they even have yellowish or white dotted coloured leaves.

It is a flexible plant.  Its wood is hard but the thin branches can be bent, it can be turned into a bonsai, and it can become a climber too.

It likes the warm weather very much, and can be  popularly found everywhere in Malaysia (from home garden to the landscaping decoration along the road.  Many places use it as a official flower, such as Ipoh Malaysia, Pingtung County Taiwan, Tagbilaran City in Philippines etc.

Not far from our house, we can see a big piece of purple bougainvillea along a flyover.  :)

Compare to the first picture again, you will find that the bougainvillea actually has only small unattractive white flowers, the coloured parts are actually the nearest leaves to the flower.  The coloured leaves are used to draw attraction of its surrounding, including human and insect.

In our garden, my parents have collected quite a few colours of bougainvillea.  And I have a method to “force” them to bloom, just prune them and remove all their leaves, they will bloom crazily after a few weeks (depends on how humid the weather is).  Do it at your own risk. :p

The bougainvillea colour that I like the most is red.  It looks like fire in the sky which gives the meaning of active and dynamic.

Apples and oranges are the most common imported fruits in Malaysia. But, today we show you how SiewPeng arranged them and make them special.

They are both healthy food.  Apples contain a lot of minerals, and oranges give Vitamin C.

There is an idiom which says that, “An apple a day, keeps the doctors away.”
I say,”An orange a week, prevents your body from being weak.“. - (c) 2009 ColinJong.com

Today is Monday again - the first day of a typical working week, we wish you a healthy week ahead.
