Benguet floras

needles...


Pine and Japanese tomato trees hugging under the veil of fog...


(Pity me, I forgot the name of this flower...Help me!)

Japanese tomato in our backyard...along Halsema Highway, Buguias, Benguet


Baguio/garden/sweet peas... Abatan, Buguias, Benguet


Upon us bestowed the countless florae
For our survival,
To color our day,
To Him we lift our thanks...

Time can not erase the ever-captivating panorama of my birthplace- Benguet in the mountain ranges of the Cordillera, Philippines.

But, sadly, the lush mountains are gradually denuded to pave way for commercial vegetable production.
