Hello ,

          Attaching a collage of four species of flowers in our garden. I have sweet memories about these flowers. Image

Passion flower takes me to Netrakona ( now in Bangladesh ), I used to collect buds from the climber in the evening and put them in a bowl of water and most of them used to bloom in the morning before my eyes and sweet smell used to fill the room. I saw Honeysuckle for the first time in Dehradun( 1974 ). The look of the flower and fragrance was to my liking. Rhynchostylis retusa ( KOPOP FLOWER of Assam, used by girls to decorate hair during Bihu dance ). Magnolia grandiflora does not require any introduction. I saw huge trees of Magnolia grandiflora in Shilong. I never saw such big trees of the species at any other place.

                 Regards,

Passiflora 'Soi Fah' as per images and references herein.
