During our travels we've
seen some stunning flowers and plants, something we both appreciate,
some of the
Caribbean islands have
lovely botanical gardens
  The Pacific islands have fabulous flowers just about
everywhere
  New Zealand and Australia have beautiful, big flowers and
plants
  But for some reason here in the Idonesian islands there doesn't
appear to be many flowers, mostly they are in
resorts or in the occasional garden
The one exception is
the Dongkala tree, it always grows by the ocean and the little
flowers look to have only half
their petals, they
say this half is the young woman waiting for
her lover to come back from the
sea   A nice romantic story ..........
If anyone can identify this flower, we see it in
most places, could you let us know please
