๐น Our Quisqualis vine - Rangoon Creeper - has grown over a roof of our water treatment system (which wasn't the prettiest view!). Now every time we pass by we have to "stop and smell the roses". It is so beautiful, and it does smell like roses!
๐น It's scent is unforgettable, fruity and intoxicating... The flowers are born in clusters and each flower has many variations of color, depending on how old the flower is.
