It was a very hot day (as is everyday). So first things first.
A cold mug of Kopi C, no sugar. Ah! So refreshing! The world looks brighter after coffee hee...hee...
Now on to the gardens!
The stairs leading to the garden is right opposite Affin Bank Berhad. Good exercise!
As you huff and puff up the stairs you will come upon this connector that goes to the corridor leading to The Starling.
There are many flowering and colorful plants along the way.
Another flight of steps and you will always encounter people coming and going. When I snapped this photo a leng lui was coming down the steps.
I think the plants needs water. I don't know what the watering schedule is like and in this very hot weather, I hope the caretakers make sure the plants are watered everyday. They do look a bit dry and thirsty.
There are yellow ones too.
You can see that it was very hot. A lot of the leaves have dropped off as you can see the tree branches are quite bare.
If I am not wrong, this is Frangipani.
This is the end of the garden and this walkway connects to the corridor that leads to The Starling.
There is a stage here. I don't know if any performances ever took place on the small stage.
Sometimes I see people exercising and kids from the nearby nursery participating in activities on the field.
Straight ahead is the entrance to the mall. So now, I like to take this path to go to the mall because the stairs give me additional workout and it is nice to look at the greenery.
After a few days of rain (in the evenings), yesterday the flowering trees looked a lot greener and fresher.
Thank you for the nice walk in the garden. I like the very small patch of greenery in starling mall when I exit using the door near where Daiso used to be and then walk towards the escalator down to cross the road to Annie 1 eatery. I am sure you know this path too as you are starling mall n uptown expert.
ReplyDeleteYou are right. That tree and flowers is frangipani. 👍 😊
Yes, I am familiar with the path you took as I also use that way to go to the shophouses outside. Thanks for confirming that is Frangipani.
DeleteYes. I can recognise the frangipani plants and flowers. Especially those in white, the flowers will look very milky rich in colours. Good that you are able to appreciate the nature like me.There are many things that are free if you know how to open your eyes and ears to appreciate them and count your blessings. In my neighbourhood there are coconut trees swaying during a good weather day when it is windy and cloudy. And birds flying and chirping in the woods. That day I even saw a big lone '"eagle lookalike" flying majestically. What a view!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I remembered when I was still in primary school I read a literature storybook titled 'The Secret Garden' and I was enticed and mesmerised by the story.
You know your flowers! There used to be many Frangipani, the white ones at the cemetery in my hometown. I think there is also a line of personal care products called Secret Garden.
DeleteBy the way just sidetrack a bit. You mentioned you do not like teh tarik. Is it just teh tarik only or absolutely no tea for you? I like teh tarik which is rich and creamy and I also enjoy a cup of refreshing, calming TWININGS OF LONDON pure camomile tea though my favourite caffeine is still coffee.
ReplyDeleteI like tea without milk. My preference is green tea especially cold green tea.
DeleteNice walk and flower sighting. But true, super hot lately although we did have heavy rain in afternoon these few days
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the rain but it is short and does not help to cool the temperature.
DeleteI only walked past the small garden where those people exercising when we parked at the mall and went out for food at outside.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's the pathway to go to the shops. Right across is Annie 1 which I have not visited in a long time.
DeleteThe only Secret Garden I know is (or should I say was) my colouring book...which has long been neglected...lol! Good that they litter the walking pathways with flowers and trees which make walking through them to get to where we want a much happier experience.
ReplyDeleteOh ya! Your coloring projects, I remember. Confession - after reading your post and seeing your coloring skills, I bought two coloring books and color pencils. They are still untouched wahahaha!!! I'll get to it one day though hee..hee...
