Lily magnolia bud – The Secret Garden of 1 Utama.

This magnolia bud should have bloomed into a beautiful purplish pink flower already by now. I hope that when we go to The Secret Garden of 1 Utama again this weekend, the other buds would have just unfurled their petals for us to train our cameras on. I like how the fine hairs, called sericeous, contrasted with the silky petals, both in texture and colour. This is certainly one of the better photographs that I have taken since I started using the monopod to reduce camera shake.

Osmoxylum Lineare

Osmoxylum at The Secret Garden of 1 Utama
Osmoxylum lineare – The Secret Garden of 1 Utama.

The osmoxylum lineare has a unique cluster of flowers. Little buds of white seemingly burst forth from the closely packed black seeds underneath. The juxtapose of colours and texture make for an interesting sight, and photography opportunities. Apparently, osmoxylum thrives in Southeast Asian countries, namely Malaysia and the Philippines. I have not seen one before until Wuan and I went to The Secret Garden of 1 Utama. This photograph was taken with the Canon Powershot A610 attached to a monopod to reduce camera shake. I have very unsteady hands.
