Sweet fragrance of Bunga Kerak Nasi permeates my backyard now. My plant now has 6 clusters of blooms. This is my first time having so many blooms at one time.
We didn't transfer our Bunga Kerak Nasi from our old place when we moved 2 years ago. I craved to grow Bunga Kerak Nasi, commonly used in making 'bunga rampai' (potpourri) in my hometown, Melaka. Eventually I got us another pot of plant from a nursery in Sg. Buluh.
The plant grows better on the ground than in a pot. I trimmed it often to control it from creeping messily. I am not certain if the regular trimming actually helped to make the plant bloom profusely. But I am very happy looking at those blooms and enjoying the perfume fragrance in my backyard.

The blooms are so lovely. This is a new plant to me. The form of the flowers is a little different. How wonderful that they have a great fragrance too.
For some unknown reason, I can't view the photos!;(

Your kerak nasi look very healthy and vibrant. Must be your magic fingers that produced so many blooms!
What lovely blooms. I'm crazy about climbers as they bloom profusely and most have a sweet fragrance. I am going to scour the nursery for this plant after been inspired by yours.
