"Flower not exactly Flower but Grass" From NTT

From Kupang

I captured this "flower" at Novanto Centre. At that time we had a meeting there. I sat next to the vase so i could hold the "flower". I could feel the texture. It just like the paper's texture, dry and stiff.  Then, i asked my office friends who come from NTT. One of them said it was not exactly the "Flower". It is a kind of grasses. He didin't know what's the name. He told me that "flower or grass" has been preserved. If we translet it In Bahasa, we can call it "Kuda Tai" ....Note: to Pronounce "Tai" is not the same with Sundanese way.  I meant, they pronounce "Tai" by producing nasal sound. Indonesia is Rich of nature source., right???
