Garden diary | Phonegraphy : Flowers

After dealing with many endless-like tasks at work, I am so glad to tell you that my holymonth is now coming. You know, I have been too busy lately, I didn't have time to post any story on steemit. But now I am happy to share all my though and story again because my busy life is stop momentarily until the next month. The holimonth is about 45 days. Yes!
From now on, I'll continue doing my hobbies 😋

So, what do I do in my first holiday? You know, for a photography lover, free time is photo time! If you watch my post regularly, you'll know what tools I used to produce nice photos. Yup, my smartphone. Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom. The photos I am about to share are shot based on manual setting.

I would like you to walk with me to my front yard, there are some beautiful flowers to shoot. Mostly I don't know the name of the flowers, they were planted by my mother.

Shall we begin?

Okay, Below is the first shot. I don't know the name of this flower. Who cares about the name, the beauty of the flower would still attract you.

Now, This is Morinda citrifolia Flower. Due to its small size, I shot this one using Macro Lens. Its fruit is used widely as traditional medicine. My father planted this tree and used the fruit as herbal. Well, this photo turned out to be better than I had expected. The real look is not this beauty. Hm...this is what I like from macro lens, it catches the hidden beauty of the objects. Do not underestimate the power of macro 😎

Pinky purply

The beauty of Catharanthus roseus. This flower grows wildly accross my home. In Indonesia, this flower is called Bunga Tapak Dara. I am imagining to have full of this flower all over my yard. It would be beautiful to have purple theme around the house.

Paper flower never dies... This is the most long live flower that I have ever seen. This flower always blooming 24 hours a month! No wonder people called it paper. I don't exactly know how long the flower stand before it fade. As far I can see, this flower still bloom when other flowers had faded away. Everyday I walk out of home, I see this flower hasn't chaged form.
