My Best Friend

Geranium putih
Geranium pink
My Best Friend

Today I found a friend,
Who knew everything I felt
She knew my every weakness,
And the problems I've been dealt.

She understood my wonders,
And listened to my dreams.
She listened to how I felt about life and love,
And knew what it all means.

Not once did she interrupt me,
Or tell me I was wrong
She understood what I was going through,
And promised she'd stay long.

I reached out to this friend
To show her that I care
To pull her close and let her know
How much I need her there

I went to hold her hand
To pull her a bit nearer
And realized that this perfect friend I found
Was nothing but my mirror.

Dua gambar yang diambil di nursery bunga. Geranium atau Palergonium merupakan pokok bunga yang semakin popular di negara ini. Kalau yang suka gardening pokok ini is a must sebab ia berbunga sepanjang tahun, bunganya dalam jambak yang besar dan berwarna terang. Sebenarnya ada dua jenis geranium, iaitu yang berbunga dan yang tiada bunga (Search: pokok cermin).

Pokok di atas nama saintifiknya Palergonium hortorum hybrid, jenis single petal dan daun bulat hijau tua. Namun ada pokok yang mempunyai kelopak bunga berbentuk runcing dan ada pula yang kelopak berlapis. P. domesticum hybrid ialah pokok yang berbunga besar dan dwiwarna.

Pokok mudah dijaga dan tetapi
jangan siram terlalu banyak kerana ia perlu tanah yang lembab sahaja. Buang pucuk pokok agar pokok lebih rendang dan menggalakkan pertumbuhan bunga. Pembiakan pokok dengan menggunakan keratan tampang.
