I love early morning walk in my garden. Most of the time I see the green lawn’s carpeting with silvery-white, delightfully fragrant flowers of the Indian Cork Tree (Millingtonia Hortensis) or ‘Peep' (ปีป) in Thai. I couldn’t help myself picking up some fallen flowers and put them in a small jar for a long lasting freshness scent.
With more than 10 meters in height, this fast growing tree is the tallest plant in my home garden. Blooming all year round but have prolific flowers after rainy season.
In ancient Thai, dried Peep flowers chopped and wrapped with Nelumbo lotus petal were used as herbal smoking cigarette.
