[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is locally known as Bunga Kerak Nasi or Kesidang. I cant identify its English or scientific name. These flowers produce a very nice fragrance.
It is very popular among the Malay to have it planted in their garden or pergola.
In the olden days, the ladies like to slit these flowers on their hairdo.
Nowadays no more, but some would pluck a bunch and put iy on the car dashboard for the lovely smell.

HI Foozi
Another flower that is spectacular inside and out.
Love the composition and the bit of red which perhaps some people will find distracting, I feel it adds to give color to the shot. I would love so see these beauties with a bit of light on them,I'll bet I would be in for a treat.

Salam Foozi,

I love the scent by this little flowers that was once so abundant at your workplace. Now the whole lot of the creeper is missing substituted by harsh man-made structure. What is going on with the people around us?

Superb image with so much details. The ants love them as much as I do. TFS and best regards.
