Here are some random blooms. Will try to keep it interesting since I've posted so many images of plants and would prefer to avoid repeat unless unique and posted long time ago!

The osmanthus is exquisitely fragrant and it is an exceptionally nice fragrance. I'd say it matched motia and gardenias and even certain roses. It is a vanilla fragrance but very sweet.

I was wondering,why didn't it appear when we were discussing the list of Fragrant Plants, some months back or did it?
Dr Sb, is it locally available or did you bring this also from abroad ? Any local or common name of it? I & may be many others here would like to include this in their wish list.
Incidently, what has happened to your Pandanus plants procurement efforts?

I brought mine from overseas but I'm certain like some other plants you might find a bunch of these one fine day in some local nursery just brought in from places like Thailand. It is very slow growing so I would recommend getting the largest specimen possible

My Pandanus seeds from India did not come since the process of getting them cleared through GPO Lahore was not something a simple straight-forward guy like me could go through. I ditched the effort after my first hour of toil there.
