Kakdah remembered the flower the moment she saw it. Her childhood days rushed in and she recalled a few of these plants over in Sitiawan. She doesn't know the name so did the restaurant lady. For the moment I shall name the plant, pokok serombong biru....
It was during our trip to Cherating that we came across this beautiful bushy shrub, green leaves with beautiful blue bell shaped flowers, about 4 inches long, as we stopped for a cuppa at one of the roadside restaurant. The soil is sandy, I guess that's the natural habitat for this lovely plant. She gave a few branches. In the end 10 of them rooted. Now two are flowering....
