gearing up for a purple christmas

here's our present christmas tree and we are all loving it. for a change, we veered away from the usual all too colorful tree with the reds the blues and the yellows and selected just one theme color. and since i bought all the decors i get to choose the color purple. but of course!

and to match, i had my nails painted purple as well. weehhh!

at the assumption retreat house, crystal cave, baguio city

these are indeed rare, purple anthuriums??? nice noh!

i dunno what you call this but hey it's purple and it looks good! 

i have fond memories of this flower. we used to have rows of this at our front yard at our staff house then.
