Bougagonia, something like that. :( I know it's B.......nia. The Thai name is Fuerngfa, meaning flourishing in the sky. I heard the English name before but I don't remember.
Passoin flower, Thai name is Saowarot. We eat the young leaves with chili paste, yum.
What is this called? Hooky violets, how's that?
The bird of paradise. In Thai is Kaampoo, meaning the crab's pinchers.
Pim, I'm in heaven with your posting - luscious, gorgeous flowers - great photos, the first one is called a bouganvillea - one of my favorites - THANK YOU for sharing
ReplyDelete- yes btw potluck tomorrow! I hope the others remember - I'm bringing food!
Pim, I also like your Thai translations!
ReplyDeleteHi Pim, it's me again, the top magenta flower is called bouganvillea and here is an article about that flower in wikipedia, you have to copy and paste, I couldn't figure out how to make it a link here in the comments.
