Lantana
Skywatch from my balcony.jpg)
Ginormous tiger-themed tea set decor in a mall during the Chinese New Year.
Fun fact
Lantana is Bunga Tahi Ayam in Malay which translates as chicken poop flower. Brush against or crush lantana leaves, and you'll encounter an odor that's somewhere between cat pee, gasoline and fermented citrus. Or chicken poop?!

2022 is the year of the tiger.

Guess what these are?

Dried shrimps are almost a staple ingredient in many Asian cuisines for its umami taste.

Bellas flores y me dio ganas de camarones. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteThe Vanda orchid is very beautiful. I have many Vanda orchids in my home. I have never had one with the orange color.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week, Veronica!
Orange is an energetic colour. Nice collection. Have a great new week ahead! 📸👌
ReplyDeleteDearest Veronica,
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy color orange is!
Love the orange lantana, ours is golden: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2022/07/pieter-captured-our-estate-progress-for.html
And the dried shrimp we know and also the shrimp paste or terasi.
Love the artfully made salmon roe sushi and of course those heavenly orchids.
Thanks for sharing all this beauty by color in an artful way!
Hugs,
Mariette
Love
I will take extra care not to brush up against Lantana leaves! And now I know how shrimp are dried.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI did not know about the odor from Lantana, it is one of my favorite summer annuals. It is also strange about how the shrimp are dried. Gorgeous sky capture, the color are lovely. I like the tiger tea set and the beautiful flowers.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy new week!
I have to laugh, dear Veronica -
ReplyDeletechicken poop flower sounds really funny ;-DD I also think the other orange flowers are very pretty. Your Skywatch is spectacular as always! Your sushi photos whet my appetite, and we also like to eat all kinds of shrimp.
Happy new week,
Traude

Deletewow That sky view is spectacular! Sundried shrimp and squid are absolutely delicious!
ReplyDeleteHi Veronica! orange is a beautiful colour. The Sushi and prawns have given me appetite, and I have never seen so many prawns all at once! But I think I don't want to touch those smelly flowers! Have a wonderful week, take care, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteOrange reminds me of autumn coming and what beautiful photos! I find it fascinating how mother nature protects some of it's plants with offensive smells and/or skin rashes with poisonous plants! Thanks for another amazing visit to another side of the world I've never seen through your gorgeous photos. The sky view is incredible!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the flowers and photos that are indigenous to your area. They are so different than anything I see here in Philadelphia. I don't think we have the chicken poop flower and for sure I've never seen shrimp drying. so interesting.
ReplyDeleteI liked the tigers! So colorful! And those flowers were so very pretty too! You live in such a very interesting part of the world, Veronica! Enjoy your week ahead!
ReplyDeletebetty
Wonderful orange theme!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful orange things and I ate all the Sushi. Where is the wasabi?
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week, Veronica. ♥

ReplyDeleteLovely oranges.
ReplyDeleteIt is always lovely to see your part of the world. I enjoyed each and every photo and how interesting about the Bunga Tahi Ayam. We only know it as Lantana and I never knew that about its odor. That’s fascinating!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely photos again fascinating too can I have some more Sushi plwase heheh!
ReplyDeleteHave a gallimaufrytastic week 👍
Beautiful orange photos. That tea set!! Love it!

Those are all fun photos, love that first one with the critter faces!
ReplyDeleteI definitely like today's color palette.
ReplyDeleteLantana in the States are known as Butterfly bushes, as they attract these delicate creatures to their blooms. I will be careful, though, not to rub against their blooms! Does NOT sound like fun!
ReplyDeleteLoved the orange theme, my friend. Blessings!

ReplyDeleteHello Veronica,
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice pictures. So special to see so many shrimps drying in the sun.
I didn't know that. I like them very much to eat in a restaurant.
Funny shot of the tea set and what a great colored sky with the high towers.
Many Greetings,
Marco
this cantana flower looks amazing
ReplyDeleteWonderful pics.

Oh, look at this ORANGE post! I read one time that orange is the happiest color, and I believe that's true. But those poor shrimp - do they catch them and then dry them in the sun? There are so many of them! I've never cared for sushi, but I do like sushi with vegetables and such.. The sky from your balcony is beautiful.....and so orange! That tiger tea set is really cute. What a delightful decoration at the mall. I've always loved the lantana plant.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed week.

tiger-themed tea set decor looks so cute... love it
ReplyDeleteThe teapot and cups are so cute! I'm a huge seafood fan so sushi etc is right up my alley.
ReplyDeleteI like the color orange and enjoyed every picture. Lantana blooms in Florida and now I *cannot* wait to crush a blossom or two to check out that Lovely (haha) aroma which I didn't know about before this. ..... We had sushi for dinner last night -- yours looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen shrimp drying in the sun like that before.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! The tea set is cute.

What an amazing sky! Nice collage!
ReplyDeleteThat skywatch photo is absolute stunner. Great shot!
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy-looking collection of photographs. Co-incidentally, I've also found lots of orange around me lately. The pictures are still on my phone, tho' :)
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! :) <3
I love the forst orange flower. What a nice one!
ReplyDeleteUnbelievably great place
ReplyDeleteUnbelievably great place
ReplyDeleteBeautiful orange! Love that last flower and that tiger tea set!
ReplyDeleteWhat an orange post... I like this color! And I do not know the flower lantana. But it looks fabulous. I do not understand: those shrimps are there to be dried?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Veronica! Happy WW and a fine week!
Nice, post Veronica! My favourite are orange sushi and the sunset.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice time :-)

So beautiful in orange, but I'm still waiting for the wasabi so I can eat that Sushi.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ♥
Wow! I would never have guessed those were shrimp. Around here, birds would come and feast on them!
ReplyDeleteHow can such a pretty flower smell so awful! So many lovely orange things. I love the tea set.
ReplyDeleteBased upon your description of the scent, the Lantana is definitely much more beautiful than it smells... yikes! I also loved your gorgeous sunrise/sunset photo!
ReplyDeleteshades of autumn. so beautiful, so welcoming ... and hopefully, so cool and comfortable outside.
ReplyDeleteFabulous flowers <3
ReplyDeleteLovely collection of orange images!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great choice of orange colors and thanks Veronica Lee, I never knew that lantana translated as chicken poop flower and that brushing against it would give such an unpleasant odor. Our former VA neighbors had a lot of this flower in their gardens. That is a LOT of shrimp drying in the sun, my friend. As for the question about the sushi, is looks like rice with maybe dried shrimp?
ReplyDeleteI loke both the tiger-theme tea cups and the orange sushi. I have heard of Chirashi Sushi and Gunkan Maki Sushi, but not of orange one :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat sunset, as usual!
Have a nice weekend, Veronica!
Love love all the orange photos - love orange and that view you have!! I didn't know that about Lantana. I even had some in my yard years ago and can't say i smelled that...however, next time I'm down the mountain over in a city nearby where I like to walk - where i know there is some lantana plants you can get i'm going to be sniffing around. That photo of the sunset is amazing. And that shrimp..wow.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photographs in deed. Amazing shots.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday. Regine

Very pretty. I planted some lantana plants very late but they are starting to bloom!
ReplyDeleteOh what a great round up of orange themed photos! So fun, the flowers are beautiful and the sushi is making me hungry!

That orchid looks awesome and bunga tahi ayam, not a pretty name but nice color...
ReplyDelete...fabulous images, I remember firecracker flowers from my trips to Maui. Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this post's orange theme. I've always switched from summer to autumn decor so I'm all about the orange vibes!
