midnight bloom



i went back to my parents house last weekend.. to celebrate the arrival of ramadhan and to my surprise the bakawali flowers were in bloom! the day i got home, there were 6 of them, but i missed it.. since i went to bed quite early.. but the next night, right before i went back to KL, 3 of them started to bloom...
the flower buds

the thing about bakawali flowers is, they only bloom once and always at night.. they open their petals fully at midnight... they start to bloom at around 9-ish.. after they fully bloomed, the will stay that way for about a couple of hours before starting to wilt.. by the time the sun rises, there's no more trace of the midnight beauty left..

orang tua-tua zaman dulu kata, waktu bunga bakawali kembang, ada puteri bunian yang tinggal dalam bunga tu akan keluar bila habis kembang.. masa ambil gambar ni tak nampak lak tuan puteri.. maybe tak fully bloom lagi... :D
