This crisp, fresh and beautiful bloom seen in the morning at 11:26 AM Thursday, April 5, 2007

This plant had been over watered about 2 months ago and this had caused its lower leaves to yellow. At that time I was afraid that its roots might rot! I stopped watering it for a while and loosen the top layer of soil to let it air and dry better. It survived the ordeal after losing much of its lush green leaves! Now, it blooms :) This is a precious bloom because we get to see one flower only each time and it will stay opens till the evening before the petals close up forever till it drops off!

This plant was given to me by my younger sister, PG who brought it over all the way from KL, West Malaysia.
