The pulai tree downstair flowered. First the canopy's top gone 'pink' and the terminal clusters appeared. I thought it might developed into some thing big but never expect it start sheding tiny flowers a few days ago. I recalled the faint fragrance lingered in the still wet nights.

Nice arrangement and lighting - an interesting way of photographing flowers.
Hi Heliconia:
Thanks...
IT was already late when i reached home yesterday. I picked up the wet small small flower and two leaves and got to work on the closeup view of flowers and uploaded them quickly as I hv promised. The enlarged view allow me to see the floral structure much clearer.. And the leaves - only til then i noticed the rather regular 'inter-vein' spacing so pronouced on the underside of the leaf. ( it was hard to detect on the top surface of the leaf) I counted 60+ pairs of veins... a # way higher than those reported in Wayside Tree 2 volume...
