Enchanted Tembusu Tree
By peace | April 24, 2008
Tembusu Tree, Fagraea fragrans. This is a native tree, an impressive tree that can grow up to as high as 40m and have distinctive straight single trunk with deeply fissured bark. Branches arise from the main trunk and grow upwards. The leaves are simple, elliptical and narrowing towards the tip.
The Tembusu tree flowers twice a year, towards the middle and the end of the year. Flowering is gregarious, all trees flowering together, very unlike many of the trees growing in Singapore. Flowers are in bunches, shades of yellow and cream, nice fragrance especially towards the late evenings, attracting night-flying moths which help in their pollination.
Fruits of the Tembusu Tree is small roundish berries, but I have yet to see the real fruits yet.
I was writing about the Enchanted Tembusu Tree, walking around the house, doing something here and there, I saw two beautiful birds in flight, one black pigeon and one white pigeon, flying, spreading out its wings so beautifully flying pass in front of me, outside the window. What a beautiful sight, beautiful scene, stunning and amazing, WOW-filling inspiration, my heart burning, burning with passion, burning with excitement and wonder.
This morning, cool air, cool breeze, all blowing over me, SHIOK!
Brought Ricsson to school, and on my way back, at the traffic light, I smelled another beautiful fragrance. It was the camwood plant, Baphia nitida. I have not taken any photograph of it, but this is a very special shrubs, with white flowers that looked like orchid. This plant is normally plant near the fence, at garbage corner, like this picture below.

What a beautiful gift God has given me, all for me to see, but my mission yet accomplished, fear of the unknown, mysteries yet to be unveiled….
This is the bark of the Tembusu Tree, One look at the bark and the tree trunk, you can tell it is Tembusu Tree trunk, special, with deeply fissured bark.
