The durian is the fruit of trees of the genus Durio belonging to the Malvaceae, a large family which includes hibiscus, okra, cotton, mallows and linden trees. Widely known and revered in Southeast Asia as the "King of Fruits,"the fruit is distinctive for its large size, unique odour, and a formidable thorn-covered husk. Its name comes from the Malay word duri (thorn) together with Malay suffix that is -an (for building a noun in Malay), meaning "thorny fruit." It taste bitter sweet. I suppose being me, I could describe it like life being what it taste like - bitter sweet in journey. But the after breath smell is awesome and I think will kill that fly! LOL.

I think this is a rubber tree seed. I found it lying on the ground of the park. It looked interesting with its skin texture resembling like a quail's egg. I took the opportunity to take a close up shot of this nut. I was told it can be eaten (!!) or used as objects for child play.

I won't exactly call this the `Bird of Paradise' species, but close to it I think. At first sight it doesn't look very attractive but when you observe carefully, it sure resembles an image of a bird. Take a closer look. I didn't appreciate this flower until I saw somebody spending time taking shots of it and since then I fell in love with it.
