I tried googling it in so many ways putting in a combination of "white flowers", "bloom in october", 'delhi" and "fragrance". Thanks to your blog I finally know now that it is the Indian Devil Tree. I wait for October each year just so I can smell it in the air.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13051691845688092408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13132765.post-60532626010528752192009-11-08T23:47:18.209+05:302009-11-08T23:47:18.209+05:30Dipali: Thank you. :)<b>Dipali</b>: Thank you. :)Anil Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02422187314611747278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13132765.post-27884608249035179872009-11-08T23:14:51.392+05:302009-11-08T23:14:51.392+05:30I've linked my post on Alstonia to yours!
