Zinnia

The flower heads bobbed up and down with the rhythm of the falling rain. 


The droplets carefully sluiced through the petal folds.

And so do we.

Zinnia flowers along Ogilby.

Many times, I committed error in matching them as it was admittedly confusing... which one was Itneg or Isneg, Itawes or Balangao... those are just a few. The ethnic groups are named generally after each Province: Benguet, Mt Province, Abra, Kalinga, Apayao, Ifugao. But the tribal groups in each province are many and diverse. Take Apayao for example, the geographical territory is inhabited not only by the Isnegs/Isnags, but also the Itawes, Aetas, and the Aggays. In Benguet, there are the Kankanaeys and Ibalois, also the Karaos, and the Kalanguya. Mountain Province, on the other hand has ...
