I do not know who these kids belong to, but they were the cutest tree climbers ever! This Tembusu (Fagraea fragrans) is the heritage tree (in Singapore Botanic Gardens, near Swan Lake) which was featured on the reverse side of our Singapore currency! Go check out your 5 dollar bills everyone.
I'm guessing they were sisters wearing similar outfits. The bark of the tree was smooth and felt wonderfully polished. Incidentally, i've noticed the tembusu trees flowering all over Singapore right now. I smell their fragrance during early morning and late afternoon, but the strongest whifs seem to be emitted during late evening. I love their flowers. Cream coloured wonders.
This post makes me feel nostalgic and sad for a reason i shall reveal another day.
xxoo
Cheers to tembusu trees and sweet fragrances.
