Trip to the Flower Market

One of my favorite places to go in Malang is the flower market. They sell so many different types of flowers, plants and seeds. It's amazing to just walk through and take in the smells(good smells haha) all around you! And I love going and interacting with vendors and other customers there...I always end up striking up conversation with someone there!
Today I went with my friend Widya to get some flowers. I went to get a plant for my room, but got sidetracked by one of my favorite flowers here, "sedap malam," which means "fragrant at night." I have never bought flowers for myself because I can never get myself to spend the money on it, but with spending 5,000 rupiah(about 50 cents) for an entire bunch, it seemed justifiable. :) It lives true to the name...as I walked into my room tonight, my entire room was filled with the fragrance of it!
