Sun Conure

I really enjoyed watching my Sun Conure. They can be very noisy if I will not say "hello" to them or give something, usually a "malunggay" leaf. Sometimes, I would let them kiss my lips. The sound they create sometimes is deafening. These babies are demanding with attention but worth every second.

Water Hyacinth

Water hyacinth if left in the wild will post a problem due to being invasive. But when controlled, the weed can be a beautiful ornamental plant in every garden pond. In our place, only half of the pond is covered with water hyacinth. When they flower, beautiful!

spathoglottis

Another shots of my spathoglottis collection. Honestly, I have no idea the names of these varieties. I still have 4 other varieties which are not in bloom. Maybe before the end of this year, they will bloom. Hopefully somebody will help me find their names. :-)

A visit to Balanan Lake, Siaton, Negros Oriental

The lake while we're on the bangka. Love it!
This is where we stayed for a night. The veranda provides a scenic view of the lake.

Balanan Lake, Siation, Negros Oriental: we visited last 2007.
Lake Balanan is a freshwater rift lake situated in Siaton, in the southern portion of the province Negros Oriental, Philippines. The lake is has three primary inflows all located in the northern end. These are Balanan, Lamarao and Nasig-id Creeks.
At around 5 pm on May 5, 1925, the town was hit by an earthquake triggering a landslide that created a natural dam blocking the waters of Balanan River creating the lake.

spathoglottis

Got these two varieties of spathoglottis when we went to Mabinay. I would like to thank the owner of the house where we stopped over for a shade for giving me these. The flowers lasted for more than six months . . . . they just continued to flower . . . . beautiful indeed!

Cattleya

I got this orchid last 2008 during the city fiesta. I forgot the name of the cattleya variety. Please comment if you have any idea.
