“We say that flowers return every spring, but that is a lie. It is true that the world is renewed. It is also true that that renewal comes at a price, for even if the flower grows from an ancient vine, the flowers of spring are themselves new to the world, untried and untested.
The flower that wilted last year is gone. Petals once fallen are fallen forever. Flowers do not return in the spring, rather they are replaced. It is in this difference between returned and replaced that the price of renewal is paid.
And as it is for spring flowers, so it is for us.”
― Daniel Abraham, The Price of Spring

Hi Photo Cache, i've commented on the other site about San Jose so i will reply here. It seems you haven't read my post maybe just looked at the photos, haha, the Tagalog for Flacourtia rukam is bitongol. I think i am mistaken for calling bitongol a pome, actually it is a berry! http://www.buzzle.com/articles/fruit-types-list-of-fruits-by-type.html. Pome fruits include the apple.
