Smelling the flowers

I've never seen anyone smelling flowers in the park and with that thought, I decided to add a new dimension to my way of appreciating flowers. The first cluster of flowers I saw that invited me to check out if they were fragrant or now were these Ixora-like flowers. I am not positive that they are Ixoras because the leaves are huge - a feature that I am unable to associate with the Ixora plants that I have come across. This plant is strange. Where did those leaves come from? I went nearer for a close-up shot of these flowers and breathed in the soft fragrance around them.

Next, white fluffy flowers that looked like they belonged to the rain tree.
Flowers that have given way to seeds - Saga tree.
The flowers were tiny and I did not attempt to smell them for I would have fallen off the steel bridge had I tried to.
The leaves, the flowers and the seed pods in the background.
Unknown fruit.

I smelled these Saraca flowers. It was light and sweet.
This plant resembles the Jatropha podagrica.

My favourite plumeria specie.

Adenanthera pavonina - Saga Tree flowers

I used to pick the red seeds of these trees and kept them in glass bottles because I like the colour and the uniformity of the seeds in terms of size. As years went by, I saw these seeds less frequently. But for the first time, I saw the flowers because for the first time I was able to be right next to the crown of such a tree. Scroll down to see how I did that.
