Are you familiar with this one waste? The name of this flower is ylang flower which has a greenish yellow color. The shape is not too beautiful when compared to the flowers that are usually used as flower arrangements. This 6-petal flower curls and curls irregularly. The green color at first glance looks similar to leaves. Although the color and shape are less attractive, various insects still come to this flower. One of them was a red ant and when I picked it my hand got bitten by the red ant.

Even though the color and shape are very unattractive, the scent makes us not want to throw it away, even though the fragrance of this flower is still long lasting even though the flower has withered.

Tropical Plants

This ylang flower can grow well in Indonesia, which has a tropical climate. Ylang is a native plant from Asian countries, such as Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia of course.

The ylang tree can grow tall. In the wild, the ylang tree can reach a height of 5 meters. Apart from taking flowers, ylang wood can also be used as furniture material.

The scent of this always reminds me of death. The first time I encountered this was at a wake of one of our teachers in school. Some flowers were on the coffin. That's why it was my first memory of this flower.

Maybe this flower is quite rare. But in my area a lot of this flower grows because this flower is part of a medicinal plant so it is good for cultivation. Seriously, this flower smells so good I even keep it in my bag or book and the fragrance lasts a long time.
