rajendra ji Really nice photos. I remember, nearly 50 years back we had a tall tree at least 100 m away from our house, and the fragrance of flowers would reach our house. I have never seen such big flowers since then. We would pluck a flower bud about 6 inches long, put it in a glass of water (as a vase). It would take nearly ten days to fully open and all these days there would be fragrance all over house.
