Raghu, I have saved all three photographs. I think it is the most fragrant flower found in India. If there is some other flower to beat it in fragrance, please let me know. A few years back I had planted a few of these in Bhubaneswar. I have been told that they have grown up and spreading their bouquet all around. Cheers! akbhatt
