Bulaklak, ang ganda ng bulaklak
Ang bango ng bulaklak
Dulot sa 'tin ay galak
Translations:
Flowers, beautiful flowers
Fragrant flowers
they bring us gladness
When one of my relatives went for a vacation back home, I specifically asked for or pleaded in short for a Sampaguita plant to be brought back for me. Sampaguita or what I call Kampupot is our national flower. It trives well in tropical countries and has several varieties. There is single petal, double petal and double double petal. What I have is a double double which is very very pretty. It is sooo fragrant too. Since it is not used to Canadian weather, I can only bring it out during summer. And then when it senses the heat of the sun...it blossoms of little pretty fragrant white flowers.
