How About These Blossoms!

Hiking South Jakarta very much will eventually bring you past some very lovely flower stalls. After as much time as I've been here, I'm ashamedly blase about the colorful exhibition of blossoms. :-(

The branch of blossoms on the right caught my eye, though, and I'm sure I haven't seen anything like this. Each blossom is enclosed and hard, slightly smaller than a cherry. Also each is composed of about a dozen parts all fitting together with a pattern that reminds me of a soccer ball stitched together pentagons.

Pretty cool, and impossible to see from a car window.
