Wispy White Michelia Champaca



It is my first time to come across this sweet smelling flower. By chance I looked up as I was taking a walk around our retreat's forest-like venue. I noticed that one tree was full of white wisps that spread a delightful fragrance. Dig this: the luxurious perfume Joy by Jean Patou (voted as Scent of the Century in 2000) has the Michelia  in it.
