Frangipani

Passed by Raffles Hotel and saw there were few frangipani trees outside the hotel.


It reminded me of the road which I used to pass through before reaching grandma's house and to primary school.

Frangipani is the national flower of Bali Island, you can see Balinese .. male or female will wear one on their head... however Singapore Chinese do not like this flower especially the older generation people..... beside calling 鸡蛋花 in Chinese...... Frangipani has another Chinese name...... 死人花.... dead people flower............ because Frangipani in the old days was used to make the flower ring especially for the condolences occasion.
