Jik Setthi .. Lively pretty fluffy ..

Here are the blossoms

So sweet and gentle

Spread the white wings

Fluffy and lively

As if they're gonna fly

Upon to the sky

       This is one of extraordinary flowers rarely seen. Jik Setthi. It blooms only once a year, around February or March. Its sweet scent attracts so many bees and insects to flying around to get the juicy nectar.
