Akar Ketuau

Anggerik, is orchid.

Ceraka Biru. Oh yes, I have a strong preference for blue flowers.

Kemunting Cina, the periwinkle.

Kerukup Siam, it's the flower of the local "cherry".

Senduduk, a very common wild flower.
"Air melurut ke tepian mandi, Kembang berseri bunga senduduk;
Elok diturut resmi padi,
Semakin berisi semakin tunduk. "
"Water flows to the edge of as I bath,
Senduduk flower is in full bloom,
It is better to follow the custom of paddy,
The head is lower as it becomes more filled."

Setawar, when begins in lower case is "tastes as plain as...". Setawar when begins in the upper case means only the flower taller than an adult, growing on red bracts resembling pineapples.
