Yesterday's breakfast--fried Spam and sunny side up. Bread was in the toaster, coffee was brewing.

Red Powderpuff/Today's Flowers #35
 |
| @ mirandablue |
Spotted this spiky red flower by the road side in Laguna. I didn't know its name until I searched on line. It's known as Red Powderpuff, Blood Red Tassel Flower and Fairy Duster. It belongs to the species of Calliandra, a genus of flowering plants, shrubs and small trees native to tropical and sub-tropical regions of southern Asia, Africa, Australia and the Americas.

Soup and pasta @ Almon Marina
 |
| @ mirandablue |
Almon Marina is my favorite place when I needed a quick lunch or a light dinner. They serve healthy and fresh sandwiches, and their a la carte dishes are well-cooked. Mushroom soup and Carbonara---my snack cum dinner on Sunday. I needed a full stomach before I ventured to the HomeWorld sale at the SM Megatrade hall.:p

Imperial Blue Plumbago/Today's Flowers #34
 |
| @ mirandablue Imperial Blue Plumbago, Plumbago auriculata, Skyflower |
My landlord planted this flower in the wall planter of the patio---I love the light blue flowers. This is a pretty common flower around here but I don't know what the local name is. I got the name on-line---Imperial Blue Plumbago, a native of South Africa. It is a relatively fast growing shrub that doesn't mind long, humid summers. The light blue flowers are prolific during the warmer months, it requires full sun but will bloom in partial shade. Plumbago also attracts birds and butterflies. It is traditionally used to treat warts, broken bones and wounds, and a supposed cure for lead poisoning.

Vegetarian Lettuce Wrap
 |
| @ mirandablue |
One of my favorite appetizers at Pho Hoa---fried rice paper roll with lettuce wrap. It's a vegetarian spring roll served with fresh lettuce. It is eaten wrapped in fresh lettuce and dipped in a tasty, sweet spicy vinegar sauce.
