Did you notice why white color flowers gives out stronger fragrance than other colored flowers?
Plants bear flowers for fruits and propagation. It requires helps from external sources like insects and wind to pollinate.

Nature has its way for survivor and its objective to live. White flowers present themselves by offering unique scent to potential visitors just like the strategy that applies to all beings.
If you sight a frangipani flower wearing a pure white gown waving at you, please do not doubt its intention, it’s as pure as its scent!

Smells are associated with memories. Why is it that so many people love the way flowers smell? To me, I think funerals. I guess my flower smell was poisoned by death, not to it. lol

Both gardenia and jasmine are white and they smell so good. We have them by our house’s main entrance.

Wow! You remind me of Gardenia! That was the flower I tried to grew many years ago!
But sadly, in the end it attracted more bugs than butterflies! 😦

Frangipani. I’ve never heard this name. But, when I worked in the Philippines we called it “kalachuchi.” It’s a beautiful and fragrant blossom whatever its name. 🙂

Yes, this flower is famously in tropical countries.
Many resorts and bungalows like to go for this tree! 🙂
