One thing leads to another....

 i was pleasantly surprised to know that an exquisitely lovely fragrant pink magnolia is happily blooming here in Malaysia.....have not seen it myself...only came across it here  :

and this leads me to the gorgeously beautiful Milk-and-Wine lily Crinum zeylanicum.....  here :


My own white crinum is budding...n i m impatiently waiting for the buds to turn into flowers and finally bloom.... i yearn to smell again the exquisitely strong perfume they emit....
