Rainy season has started.
Humongous and swelling buds after a 4-hour heavy downpour on Thursday, noon till night. Blooms a plenty after raining in the wee hours in the morning on Friday (1am till 6am) and drizzling until 9am.
Buds finally bloomed since last bloomed during Merdeka Day (Aug-31) and Hari Raya Adilfitri (Sep-20). New pair of leaves emerged, lower pair of leaves spotted early Oct. Since then new buds often singed and never seem to swell and bloom, while green leaves turned yellow and failling rapidly compared to new growth. It left us thinking perhaps it is dying. The sight of heavy downpours until you can't see shallow drains by the sides of the road (about 2-inch floods) was scary! But in fact it was a good sign for this thirsty Kesidang. Ah ha!
Kesidang's sweet scent filled the patio and surrounding garden, spreads into our dining and living. The wonderful fresh fragrance reminds my mum-inlaw her childhood dwelling days and fond memories :)
For me, it's a reminder that God create mother nature in its unexplained mysteries and always full of surprises. Life's like a box of chocolate.
