Why Alamanda And Not Audra ?

My sister asked me why I choosed to use Alamanda instead of my given name Audra . Well ,first things first, I was not sure about blogging until a friend told me to try it out and it's for free . I mean , how free can it get right ? Wrong . So here I am , to tell and explain. You see , when I satarted to blog , I felt that finally I could get my thoughts together and write away and also this is my chance to write .
Okay back to why I decided to use Alamanda instead of Audra . Here is the thing . Alamanda is a flower and as far I am concerned I have not seen any Alamanda flowers around and if I had seen one , I was not aware that , that was an Alamanda flower or plant . I kinda like the sound of it ALAMANDA. No , before you start I don't think I will want to name my daughter Alamanda !!!! But then again I like the sound of it . So I casually told my sister that Alamanda is quite special to me just as the students that I teach are to me . Belive me , they are no Roses , Carnations , Orchids or Lillies . To me they are just simly Alamanda . A rare kind . A kind where you want to nuture , develop , sharpen the edges and most of all to water them with love.
