Flora in Bali
Posted On Wednesday, September 3, 2008 at at 12:30 AM by dorion55I think everybody know Bali. The good travel in the world, isn't it? And what about the flora in Bali Island?
Just like common tropical islands, in Bali you will find a wide variety of plants by surprise. Huge banyan trees are everywhere in the villages by the Bale banjar or pavilion, or temples ground. Tamarind is also a typical Balinese tree mostly found in the north coast, as well as clove at the highlands. Meanwhile acacia, flame tree and mangrove can be found along the south coastlines. Craft and house use basketry's, a dozen species of coconut palms and varieties of bamboos are also everywhere across the island.
Flowers families are just as surprisingly as the variety of big plants. The most common are hibiscus, bougainvillea, jasmine, and water lilies. Magnolia, frangipani, and a variety of orchids are found in many front yards and gardens, along roads, and in temple grounds. In the day to day life flowers are routinely used as decorations in temples, on statues, as offerings for the gods, and during prayers. Dancers wear blossoms in their crowns, and flowers are worn behind the ear during ceremony sessions.

Are they frangipani flowers in your pic or am I wrong ?
I enjoyed Bali...
@G@ttoGiallo:
Frangipani flowers many in Indonesia and not only in Bali. I have a sister living in Bali, and she also has that. Thank you G@tto
