Sri Gading Flower

Sri Gading

Special things may call sweet memories. This flower is one of mine. It is "Sri Gading" flower (Latin: Nyctanthi Flos) which calls sweet memories about my past grandmother. She loved this kind very much. When I was a boy, I always accompanied her picking them up from the only tree we had in the front yard. She could make them into a beautiful and fragrant lace of necklace for my little sister.

My beloved grandmother has passed away. The Sri Gading tree was also cut off. For years, I had not seen the flower until the day I found it in my neighbor's garden. I could not resist myself taking picture of if! Sweet memories about my grandmother re-nourished my soul and turned me into a set of delightful feelings that support my life whenever I see the picture.

Oh, Lord my God, give her Rest In Peace in your holiness. Amen. [skd]
