I love the smell too Susan. I didn't know it was the national flower of Indonesia and Philippines, thanks for the info.

There are lots of varieties of this plant. The flowers are usually made into a garland. It is Indonesia's and the Philippines' national flower.

Thanks alice and nath. Many of them look similar but I came to the same conclusion. I was searching while you're comment came through and I'm glad to see we both agree on J. sambac.
