Philippines is one of the many countries that features some of the most beautiful and eccentric flowers found across Asia, and non of these flowers are seen in your typical flower shop. Some of the most valued flower Philippine today are those that are usually seen on the back stage, or those that are only known in their certain aspect not because of their popularity in commercial sales. Some of these flowers are the simple yet aromatic Sampaguita, the lady of the night Dama De Noche, an undying beauty Everlasting, and the rare Waling-Waling.
The Petite yet Aromatic Flower
The sampaguita, a native of tropical Asia, is the Philippines' national flower. These petite but very fragrant flowers are made into garlands and used as welcome offerings or honors for dignitaries and achievers. Sold on the streets of Manila, the flower necklaces usually adorn vehicles, or are taken home by Catholic devotees to decorate their altars.
The Lady of the Night
Dama de Noche, or more commonly known as the Lady of the Night, is famous for its unusual biorhythm which made it the subject of legend. Its flowers bloom at night and exude a very sweet scent. Although widely cultivated in the Philippines, the flower Philippine was introduced from tropical America.
The Undying Flower
Also known as paper daisy or straw flower, the everlasting is a famous bloom associated with Baguio City. Strings of these flowers are sold in the markets and streets of the summer capital. Due to its longevity, even if out of soil and water, it is also a favorite of devotees who adorn their altars with these blooms.
The Rare Flower
The waling-waling is a rare epiphytic orchid endemic to the island of Mindanao, particularly in the foothills of Mount Apo in Davao, Cotabato, and Surigao. It flowers seasonally, and its two-week bloom occurs during the peak months of July until December. Hailed as the "Queen of Philippine Orchids" by the locals, the waling-waling is considered by many as the country's best orchid variety due to its many stunning colorful hybrids.
This captivating trait led to hunters and orchid collectors from all over the world harvesting the species almost to extinction. The decline was stemmed, however, when tissue culture was performed in order to repropagate the flower Philippine. For more information visit to our site at http://www.myflowerdepot.com
