Jo-lali Flower, a Flower of Remembrance


Jo-lali, or 'do not forget' in English, is the name of the flower. I have no idea why do Javanese call it that way. The flower itself is beautiful. Compared to other popular flowers, this Jo-lali is not well known. It is so hard to find it. Some say that this Jo-lali has supranatural power, some say that ghost loves it. Maybe that's why Javanese do not plant it. I took this picture in front of my parents house in Blitar. They just do not care if Jo-lali is truly a ghost's flower or not. They just love the flower.
