I was walking along a patio in my school this morning when I happen to pass by a bunch of lovely orchids. They are in all colors. Red, yellow, white, purple, and some even look blue and green. I then remembered my days when I was still living in Tagaytay. Its been four months since I last took a glance of my mothers garden. With her lovely plants, flowers, and most specially, her orchids. She's willing to give you a World War III if you plan to steal or destroy it. That's how she love her 'babies', as what she named her plants.
Tagaytay is known for its wild flowers growing all year round. Wild sunflowers are seen every December to mid-February in any part of the city. Its yellow color lined up uniformly like hasty soldiers being ask to salute King Sun. Purple bells are very prominent in the city greens during May to August. The smell of the city is almost flower-like.
But none of those flowers, at least for me, will get over the beauty of orchids. Josh Of Dalton Orchidarium is one of the most famous places in Tagaytay. Almost all kind of orchids are being sold here. Some are local growth while some are imported from other countries. It is open for the whole week but is in its most busiest time every Sunday wherein new flowers arrived from their plantations in Visayas and Mindanao and also from their bases in other countries.
I promise I will be back to Tagaytay one of these days, and I will share with you my going-back-to-hometown adventures.
