The Philippines is blessed with a very high biodiversity, including the plants living in its remaining forest cover. Trees alone comprise about 3500 species. Just to research on a species a day would take about 10 years to finish all of just the trees. Then there are still the shrubs, herbs, ferns etc. Through this blog we hope to introduce you to some important plants in the forest before they completely disappear because of habitat destruction.

The Nut Bracelet
Payapang Daigdig?
I wrote this small poem two years ago, revising the lyrics of a popular song 'Payapang Daigdig' by Felipe Padilla de Leon. I posted it over my old blog site as a Christmas greeting. I'll do it gain as a reminder to take care of Mother Earth. It is the only home we got.
Ang gabi’y payapa, Lahat ay tahimik
Pati mga tala, sa bughaw na langit
Kay hinhin ng hangin, waring umiibig
Sa kapayapaan, ng buong daigdig
Payapang panahon, ay biglang binasag
Ang hangin nilason, ang gubat winasakAng bundok pinatag , ang ilog tinapunan
Mga biyaya winaldas ng sangkatauhan
Ang gabing payapa ay hindi na tahimik
Di na kita mga tala sa maitim na langit
Ang simoy ng hangin, hindi na kaibig-ibig
Wala nang buhay sa payapang daigdig.
Maligayang Pasko sa ating lahat!
Ang a very merry and safe Christmas to all!

The Makeshift Cinnamon Nursery
Like in any other native tree we encounter, we went around its base trying to spot falling fruits or seedlings. There were none. But we chanced upon Nana Paterna who takes care of the grounds maintenance. She was very familiar with the cinnamon tree and swears that the tree does sprout seedlings around its base. She even promised to collect the seedlings in the coming months.
I will count the responses in www.pinoytrees.blogspot.com (not in facebook post, to be fair).
