PORTLANDIA GRANDIFLORA

I just updated the post in Oct 12 on the identity of this amazing plant. Known as Bell Flower, Glorious Flower of Cuba etc, this small tree up to about 5 m tall was named after the Duchess of Portland and is known to grow well in alkaline soils. The fragrance of the flowers has been described as a warm, creamy chocolate scent. 

FRUITS AND FLOWERS (PORTLANDIA)

This is one interesting shrub that I do not know of. The bell-shaped flowers have a unique enclosed bud with a purplish tip that opens up to release a light scented fragrance.

NB on 25 May 13: This plant is known as Portlandia grandiflora (Common Name: Bell Flower, Glorious Flower of Cuba, Tree Lily; Family: Rubiaceae).
