my beautiful black magic... now in heaven!! 

************************************************************

Black rose, due to their unusual looks and rarity have fascinated gardeners and rose lovers since ages. A real black rose in actual does not even exist or hasn’t been discovered yet. What we classify as black rose are either red or purple roses with such deep colour that they appear as black. A black rose flower is darker at bud stage but transform to a dark red colour when it blooms. The petals of black roses are tinged with black and have a velvety sheen to it

The black rose meaning is often mistaken as with red rose because of their dark red colour. Black rose is not associated with death, but is associated with mourning and sadness, farewells and endings and even an end of a relationship. Some black roses also represent ‘rebirth or the beginning of something new’ while some signify obsession.


1. Black Magic Roses:



Black magic is the most popular red rose in the market today. The bud of this rose is very black and can even be cut in their bud form to give an appearance of black rose. This flower looks very appealing with deep red velvety petals. The petals are thick and fully doubled. The bloom appears singly on each stem making it very attractive as a cut flower. The foliage is beautiful and dark green. This black rose gets it beautiful dark colour and strong smell from its parent ‘Guinee’ rose. These are pretty large in size and smell heavenly, making it ideal for planting. This flower is considered as a symbol of departure and farewell. The flower blooms throughout the year. When placed under dim lights this flower appears truly black in colour.

2. Black Velvet Rose:



Black velvet rose is a large flowered Hybrid tea rose. It is deep burgundy in color with a dark, blackish velvety look, from where it gets is name. The shrub of this flower bears just one flower at a stem and the huge buds opens up to reveal a large semi double deep black blooms. The flower has dark green leathery foliage with green leaves. The flower is highly fragrant and is often used in the perfumery industry. The flower blooms every year in summer until fall.

3. Black Baccara’ Roses:


Black Baccara rose is a hybrid tea rose which is perfect for cut flower arrangements. This flower came to existence in 2005 after extensive research. The flower has no fragrance at all, but looks really very beautiful. Like other black roses, these flowers look very dark when they do not unfurl fully and take a beautiful deep red colour when they open completely. The blooms open slowly, showing a deep red colour with black shadings. As it blooms, the edges of the rose, still have a blackish tint on their petals. The dark leathery leaves are reddish when they are young and cover the bush really well. The flower appears blacker in cool weather.

4. Black Jade Rose:



This beautiful flower won the ARS in 1985 for minis, from a smaller breeder called Benardella. It is also called ‘BenBlack’ in some regions of the world. Jade is a deep dark red flower that turns black in a hot sunny weather. The flower is not resistant to cooler weather and gets black spots every once in a while. The flower can be best grown in pots where they can manage themselves against climate. The flower grows in clusters with around 5 to 10 blooms in each stem. The flower opens up to reveal attractive, bright golden stamens, which looks beautiful in contrast to the very dark blackish petals. The foliage is dark and glossy.

5. Black Cherry Rose:



Black Cherry Rose belongs to the family of heirloom. The flower gets its name from large nearly black blooms that look cherry red in certain lights. This flower is deep burgundy red in colour and is fully double, around 3 to 4 inches wide. The flower has no fragrance at all and is perfect for cut flower arrangement. The flower begins flowering in early season and continues in waves in all seasons.

6. Black Beauty Rose:



This flower was first introduced by Meilland in France in 1954. Like most of the black roses, Black beauty rose is large hybrid tea rose with a deep dark red colour. The young bud and the reverse of the petals appears dark velvety blackish red in color. The flower opens to a deep burgundy shade. The flower has relatively smaller blooms than other hybrid tea roses. It has a very mild fragrance which is not at all over powering. The flower looks vibrant as cut flower and can make any flower decoration look glamorous. It looks amazing when mixed with cream or white colored flower. The flower is also very popular during weddings and for bouquet decoration. This rose bloom throughout summers and winter.

7. Black Ice:



Black Ice belongs to modern cluster flowered Floribunda Rose. The name black ice derives from its parent iceberg roses. The rose was first bred by Gandy in England in 1971. The buds of this flower are very dark black in colour and open to a beautiful dark scarlet colored large size bloom. The open flower displays a dark red colour with red shadings which looks like a black colored rose. The flower has glossy green foliage which looks very attractive with the red flower. The flower blooms every year in summer till fall. It has a mild fragrance which is very pleasing.

Mount Kinabalu Expedition-Part II: Scaling to the peak!

Ya Rabbiiii...... dasyat betul! dah nak masuk 3 tahun!!!!.. baru terhegeh2 nak hapdet Mount KK expedition.... huhu..... dah hampir lupa peristiwa2 penting... haha... siap mount KK dah kena gempa pun... daripada umur Haziq 3 tahun masa tu... sampai dah ada adik pun si Haziq ni.... aku masih terhegeh2 macam apa ntah.... mengenang tragedy gempa di mount KK.. rasa sungguh bersimpati dengan climbers... esp porters & mountain guiders di sana... they are soo kind person.. & responsible also... hmm... ujian utk mereka... & tabik spring utk these people! once i heard what they have done to help & save the victims... I know already... that is the SABAHAN! not to be racist or what.. but I do respect our borneo friends... kadar toleransi kaum mereka tersangatlah tinggi... & being there.. in Sabah for almost 5 years... & having very nice foster family there... i know very much... Mount KK adalah kebanggaan & kesayangan semua orang sabah... tragedy macam ni sungguh menyedihkan for them.... gunung kebanggaan runtuh sampai bertukar rupa... lebih2 lagi ditambah pula dengan kematian yg ramai... so sad... alangkan tragedy Ellie James pun masih diingati biarpun kematian this poor girl berlaku pada 2001... inikan pulak gempa yg sedahsyat ni...

our porter cum mountain guide (yg lelaki tu je...).. these 2 beautiful ladies r the porters of mount KK! aiyohhhh.... meruntun kalbu tengok muatan dibelakang mereka!

tapi ni la hero sebenar kami.. si Tam ni ha... (blue jacket)

so this is it... though i know its already basi sampai boleh buat MOL... 

The climb has begun......

Kinabalu trail.... study hak ni dulu...

As intro for this entry....I would like to mention here....expedition to the summit of Mt Kinabalu...there's 2 most beautiful point yg memang digilai pendaki...Villosa Point & of course the peak!!!!! When my hubby told me his plan to climb kinabalu...terus 2 point ni yg terbayang di mata....

we@villosa point

SCALING TO THE PEAK!

The expedition day......early morning....woke up at 6 am...then go for shower..fuhhhhh....sejukkk..heater pulak kejap panas..kejap sejuk......sakan nak pujuk si Haziq mandi...akhirnya mandi jugak...

6.00 am....mana la si Tam ni x sampai2....katanya pagi2 akan sampai....hmm...teponla kejap...tadaaa.....rupanya dah ada kat luar hostel since 5.45 am! hohoho..awal nye....so, we pack our things & Tam drove us to the Balsam Restaurant. dah kena check-out from Grace Hostel...

Having breakfast....at Balsam Rest...laporrr...but nak makan lebih2 x brani la plak...lebih2 lagi bila Tam dah tegur...jgn makan banyak sangat...nanti problem plak masa mendaki...

Deanna & Haziq seems enjoy their breakfast...makan x berenti..macam2 diambilnya..done with breakfast...telan panadol dulu....takut sakit kepala masa climbing.....

Haziq & Deanna @ Balsam Restaurant...breakfast

My hubby & Tam went to Kinabalu Park Office to register for the climb & get the permit, pay for porter, get the mountain guide.....& all of us dihantar ke Timpohon Gate to start the climb......

Deanna & Haziq tunjukkan climber's pass...muka bangga gilaaa.......

here we are!!! the journey begin!

7.30 am...we were the earliest! nobody there that time.....sempat bergambar dengan tupai2 yg dah mesra hidup dgn orang...& bergambar sekeluarga dgn berlatarbelakangkan gunung kinabalu....

With Tam...my foster brother....my only sabahan's family yg join...

bergambar kat Timpohon Gate dengan latar belakang gunung kinabalu...

 first attraction yg jumpa..Carson Fall....singgahla sebentar bergambar...

Carson Fall

Sambil mendaki (???? berjalan naik bukit kot...)..mata x lepas perhatikan kiri..kanan..atas...& of course bawah (track)...tinjau2 apa yg menarik dimata utk dipandang.....I love the biodiversity...the flora & the fauna (hehe..sekadar gonggok...katak...)...so, memang tangan x lepas dari camera & handfon la...snap sana sini yg sempat.....masa awal2 pendakian ni..memangla excited giler!!

 

 

Haziq seems to enjoy the climb..seronok sakan nak naik gunung....yelah..mula2 je dia jalan...x sampai pun 500m dah merengek penat...so...as expectedla....papa kena dukung....nasib baik jumpa baby carrier yg boleh letak budak size up to 18 kg....RM350 satu taw......beli kat Mothercare Mid Valley....kat situ jek yg jumpa carrier that suits my specs... 

Haziq..mula2 je jalan..lepas tu...hmmm.....

Deanna seems very excited too! 

Mula2 memang seronok...first time jalan2 satu family naik gunung...gunung kinabalu la pulakkk........mulut masing2 x berenti bercakap..ada je topik semasa....tapi dalam hati aku...x sabar berjumpa musuh lama aku.... ni haaa.......

dulu2... kami panggil tangga steroid...... why?? try la dulu.. baru tahu kenapa

fuhh....kalo dulu (year 2000)..first time tengok tangga ni....telan air liur kami semua bila pandang tangga ni dari bawah....almost 90 degree! but now..macam dah slant sikit kot.... beria2 aku tanya Tam... betul ke ni tangga steroid tu...so, Tam yg dah more than 30 times panjat Kinabalu angguk2 banyak kali.... iya la tu.....kalo dulu (year 2000) tangga ni dibuat dari kayu.. with handrail yg dah reput...now Tanah tu yg ditarah dijadikan tangga...

Sampai dah check point yg pertama... its more than 1000 m above sea level.... rehat jap...top up air.... buang air..... &... si kenit tu mula merenggek nak susu..... so.. buat susu dia....& of course la.... bergambar....

Haziq baru dapat susu...

 

mula2 ni.... masih lagi tracking dekat2... borak2... gambar2.... gelak gelak.......

lama-lama... dah mula renggang2...... cakap pun dah kurang.... sebab nak save energy.

Deanna dah mula "lentok"

sampai masanya.. mula la sapa larat dia jalan dulu... hehe... aku... dengan the "mountain guide" yng dah mati lesen ni la jadi peneman.... Mizi & Haziq depaaan sekali.... Deanna kat tengah2... & our mountain guide Mr Joseph... tataw la kat mana... blakang sekali... malas nak jalan terhegeh2 dengan kami kot... Tam aje yg setia jadi peneman...

Sign board stesen pemancar RTM...

This is to share the tracks menuju ke puncak di Mt Kinabalu.... tangga... tangga... & tangga....haish... donno la what others think... but i think tangga is more stressful compare to track biasa... i feel that i have to use more energy to climb tangga... letih gilerr!!

 

Tupai yg jinak.... ada nampak???

Dipertengahan jalan... hujan la pulak...nasib jugak x lebat.... bergegas2 kami pakai baju ujan.... dah almost 2 hrs...baru la reda....walaupun gerimis tapi Alhamdulillah... dah selesa sikit...

track berbatu2....

Dalam perjalanan... aku tertunggu2 jugak porter yg gagah perkasa mengangkut barang... macam xde plak.... macam x logic je takde... finally... jumpa jugak.... the unsung hero of Mt Kinabalu...

the mount KK unsung hero!

Bila dah jumpa pokok2 cenggini.... maksudnya kita dah menghampiri Villosa.... dah dekat dengan Laban rata... lega rasanya bila tahu rest house dah dekat

Dah nampak badan mt. Kinabalu... 

Dah nak sampai Villosa point

Makan?? perut terasa lapar... tapi x selera sungguh la!!!! dalam pada penat giler... aku try jugak telan apa yg boleh ditelan....sudahnya sup kundur jugak yg boleh masuk dalam tekak... maybe sebab panas.. & ada rempah (sup & pepper)...

Semua yg lain dah melepekkk... kecuali Tam (bab2 panjat gunung ni dah biasa pada dia....) & of course la... si Haziq... org lain semua dok diam... dia sorang jek ceria melompat2..... jadi attention whole restaurant! He is the only baby boy yg ada that time... hmmm... kuat jugak En Mizi ye... dokong si nakal Haziq ke atas sampai Laban Rata... awwwww   :-p

view in Laban Rata Restaurant

Oleh sebab dah tak boleh nak makan... & hari pun nak malam... hujan la plak....... its 7.30 at that time.... so we have to proceed to Gunting Lagadan Rest house.... utk berehat before climb to the peak awal2 pagi nanti... 

its still raining at that time.... from Laban Rata, we can see air mengalir dah macam air terjun! phewww.... macam mana nak panjat nanti??? we just pray supaya hujan berenti...

dah macam air terjun daaa.....

this was taken from Laban Rata

Gambar di Gunting Lagadan??  xde.. x ambil langsung... xde mood nak ambil gambar... mood nak rehat je adaa... letih tauuuu.... perghhh... dahla sejuk.. nasib ada long john.. woolen sweater... winter jacket... fuhhh.. lega sunggguh! selesa noqsss.... hahaha... dulu2 masa pergi dgn coursemate tahun 2000.. being a student... dengan  bajet ciput... pengetahuan yg sangat cetek... setengah mati aku & kawan2 masa tu menahan sejuk... sekarang dah panndaiiiiii....... hahaha...

  

hujan masih renyai2 & kadang2 melebat sehingga tengah malam... dalam hati berdoa juga semoga hujan berenti.. kalau ujan x berenti.. macam mana pula nak naik... 

by 2 am... Tam & our mountain guide dah mula kejutkn kami utk start climbing... dengan cuaca sesejuk ais... hujan dah hampir berenti... cuma tinggal renyai2 yg sikiit je... sesekali... terasa malasnya... tetapi.. bila kenangkan $500 yg dibayar... aku kuatkn jugak semangat utk mendaki... huhu... bila nak kejutkn Haziq je.. Tam x benarkan,... reason.. dia risau Haziq tak tahan cuaca di atas... so,... he offer to take care Haziq di Gunting Lagadan.. let the mountain guide bawa naik kami bertiga...  hmm....... ikut jela.. he knows best

mula mendaki seawal 2 am... slowly... slowly.. dgn trek berbatu2 & keadaan yg gelap... hujan masih renyai... about 300 m mendaki.. deanna mengadu sesak nafas & sakit kepala... aku pun sebenarnya dah mula rasa jugak.. tapi sebab nak bagi dorongan pada anak yg sorang ni.. kutahan juga... 

bila dia mula mengadu.. cuba2 pujuk juga... tapi dia mmg betul2 x tahan... so, En Mizi pun dengan berat hati minta mountain guide utk escort Deanna turun ke Gunting Lagadan. Kami teruskan lg pendakian..

dalam sejam mendaki.. kepala & dada dah tak tahan... sakit kepala mencucuk2 sampai bengang telinga... cuba utk slow down climbing pun x de effect apa2... at that time... its almost 4.30 am..

i was thinking at that time to surrender sahajalah & let my husband continue with climbing... i was thinking that its better for him to go without me as i will only makes him slow... whats is my mind is... that sayat2 gate will be closed for climbers at 5.30 am... & now already 4.30 am.. he have to be fast if he wants to reach peak... so... with heavy heart.. i surrender... sob.. sob... sob... for 2nd time... i failed again!

so.. i have to climb down alone... sorang2 dalam keadaan gelap gelita... takut?? mau tidak... sorang2 atas gunung dalam keadaan gelap gelita... terasa juga dalam hati.... tapi dlm 10-20 mins berjalan... tiba2 melintas beberapa org turun jugak... those people... loser like me jugak... eheheh..... tak boleh teruskan sebab x tahan sejuk & eqipment x cukup.. they r students dr kolej komuniti daripada whole malaysia... being students... they dont know about gunung... & mungkin x tahu apa yg patut bawa ke atas gunung sana... kesian....

teruskan perjalanan turun perlahan2.. dengan students yg berpapasan turun juga... so... i take my time & enjoy turun slow2... menikmati pandangan malam yg gelap gelita... seronok jugak rupanya.... dengan hari yg semakin mencerah... agak seronok juga melihat peubahan hari di gunung... sayangnya... x terfikir pulak nak ambil gambar masa tu.... 

sampai di gunting lagadan dan around 6.30 am... jenguk bilik... tam sedang menjaga si kecik haziq & deanna tengah seronok tido... hmmm.... tengok muka tam macam terkejut aku dah sampai waktu tu... buat muka penmyek je lah... lepak katil sebelah & tido kejap.... kononnya nak tido... tapi tak boleh tido pun... sebabnya... encik mountain guide yg mati lesen ni dah "sound"... jangan tido kak... tak boleh tido.... sebab letih... laju je mulut aku tanya.. pesal plakkk??? letih dowhh... pening & sesak nafas lagi ni....

dengan muka menahan sabar jawab si tam... "kak... turun dr gunung x boleh tidur... bahaya... tam takut nanti kakak ndak bangun terusss...."

huarrrghhhhh....... takut plak dengar... eiii.... sabo jekla... ikut jek la cakap org yg banyak pengalaman... kang apa2 hal... dapat mama tiri baru anak2 aku karang... ahaksss.....

nak abiskan masa... meninjau sekeliling gunting lagadan... sambil2 tu.. terbayang encik somi di puncak... wallaweehhhhhh... sonotnya lah hai..... kalau diatas sanunnnnn.....

jenguk2 track ke puncak bila hari dah cerah.. nampak pendaki2 dah mula turun.. alahaii... sayupnya... curamnyaaa... bila bjalan dlm gelap.. x nampak apa2... dah siang .. amekkaw... baru tahu...

sebab incik somi aje yg panajt sensorang... kita tengok jelah apa yg ada...

proudly smiling at peak!

around 7.30 my hubby reach Gunting lagadan... rest about 10-15 mins... were ready to climb down.

Having breakfast @ Gunting lagadan... snap few more pics... & during breakfast.. baruku tahu kenapa la Mizi beria nak kami 4 beranak daki Kinabalu at this winter time,... sebab nak celebrate outr 10thy wedding anniversary rupanya...

tiba2.. ting tong... dah pukul 3 kot.... blum sampai lagi kat kaki gunung... adehhh.... so... apa lagi... brenti bcakap & mula fokus turun laju2.. kali ni aku ajak guide berlari2 anak turun... maklum la... masa turun boleh la ko berlari,... cer masa naik... lebam muka tu karang.....
