The heavenly smell of dried cempaka putih flower (magnolia x alba)

I get some of these pretty and fragrant smelling cempaka putih flower during my trip to Puteri Harbour last weekend [1].

The look of collected cempaka putih flowers.

Magnolia × alba is widely cultivated as an ornamental in Asia, particularly tropical and subtropical regions of China and Southeast Asia for the strongly fragrant flowers.

In Indonesia, the pleasantly fragrant flower is used and arranged together with Jasminum sambac as flower garland, especially wore by brides during traditional wedding ceremony [2].

Till then, have fun enjoys the natural room freshener from the one grown in your garden.
