My post about this plant is here:


This plant is grown for its beautiful, mesmerizing fragrance. It smells like sweet roses but it made me think of the scent from the Lily of the Valley talc. I have never forgotten its beautiful captivating scent since the first time I stepped into The Secret Garden of 1-Utama. A strong perfume from the flowers fills the air.
