How do you define the beauty of the nine o’clocks alias California Pinks? In Filipino or Tagalong language, they are called as “alas dyes” or when translated to English literally is “ten o’clock”. Yes, the same small pretty flowers with varied colors…..pink, yellow, magenta, purple…….
As the sun traverses from the horizon on the east towards the zenith above, these petty buds wake up lazily shrugging off the dew drops on them, and like the Montessori kids get ready before its 9am. Yes…..they are at the full bloom at 9am and stay gorgeous just for a few hours…….the sun rides ferociously down towards its abode again…..the 9 o’clocks count their last minutes of their petite and small lives…they droop and wither…they don’t even get to have a flash back of their lives…..In their very short life, they don’t get to see anything…not even the fact that they would probably have endorsed a few smiles on some droopy faces……what do they get of their lives finally? Nothing……absolutely nothing…….yet every morning the nine o’clocks bloom sharp at 9, no matter what climate it is……and die unceremoniously everyday…..
