Michelia figo

(banana bush)


Around my entrance is filled with the smell of vanilla from these flowers of vanilla ice cream color.  













Do you feel the smell?

These are beautiful. I love the colors with the purple edges. You raise beautiful flowers and do very nicely on photographing them.

Yes, VERY elegant piping on these petals and inside the anthers, gorgeous colors to compliment the vanilla smell. Do you know the common name?
