Macro Flower Saturday
Botanical Name: Mussaenda philippica ‘Aurorae’ (named after Dona Aurora, wife of a former President of the Philippines)
. Each flower is composed of an inconspicuous small tubular five-petalled corolla in orangy-yellow and five greatly enlarged sepals (bracts). It is really these showy corymbs of white or off-white enlarged leaf-like sepals that contrast beautifully against their dark green elliptic to ovate leaves that are the attention grabber.

They were seen at the Singapore Zoo. May be Jama and other Philippino blogging friends can confirm us the name.
