That afternoon, as I walked around the garden, I was attracted by the beauty of a cluster of small, bright pink flowers, spread out against a backdrop of thick green leaves. This flower is Bride's Tears (Antigonon leptopus), a climbing plant that I often see decorating the fences and bushes around the village.

With soft twilight lighting, the flower petals look even more vibrant, creating a stunning contrast with the surrounding green background. The small flowers that grow tightly on slender stems seem to tell a story about the fragility and beauty of nature, which is simple, but full of color. The shape of this tiny flower reminds me of the symbol of love that is often associated with this plant in several cultures.

Bridal Tears are known as plants that thrive in tropical climates, like here, and are often found in humid places. In the wild, it becomes a magnet for pollinating insects such as bees and butterflies, which of course further enriches the surrounding ecosystem.

This moment is so perfect to immortalize. I immediately took the camera and focused on the fresh flowers, hoping to capture the small details of their beauty. The slowly fading twilight provides the perfect backdrop, making the pink of the flowers stand out even more against the green of the leaves.

NOTE: I first wrote the article above in Indonesian, which is my own language, then I translated it using English with the help of Goggle.
