Hello steemians...Im back from a one week of being not active here in steemit due to personal matters. Hope everyone is doing great! Yesterday, I decided to take a break, a time for myself. So I went to my jogging place and saw this beautiful flower.

Have you ever wonder why this flower is usually planted in cemetery aside the fact that kalachuchi flower can survive in a hot season?

Kalachuchi flower is also called PLUMERIA here in the Philippines and Indonesia. I am curious whats the logic behind why this beautiful flower is commonly planted in cemetery and due to my curiosity I found out that Plumeria is often associated with the ghost and graveyards. In some Bengali culture, Plumeria is associated with funerals and death. So I think thats the reason why some cemetery owner planted this beautiful flower.
