Blooming I never know what is the national flower of Nepal and how it is look like. When I was in Annapurna Sanctuary, I saw this beautiful flower and my partner keep on reminded me the name of the flower is Rhododendron. |

Rhododendron also know as Du Juan flower in
Chinese. Du Juan Hua is a folk song I heard many times, but I never
know it English name is Rhododendron until I checked the dictionary when
I am back in Singapore.
It was after a long walk in the rain before I reached Dovan. While I was resting outside my room, I saw this pink rhododendron in the rain. |

Stepping on the Falling Flower When we leaving Ghorepani, the path outside the town was covered with falling flower. In the morning breeze, the flower kept on falling, we had to go through the flower rain and step on the falling flower on our journey back to Pokhara. |
