Hey Blair, I just Googled images of South American Trees with Fragrant flowers and found a site with a few gazillion pix. Scrolled through and found one that was similar, (It was a different species of Clusia), then I googled images of clusia and there it was. Took about five minutes. Glad it was helpful. Gotta love google.
Blair Wainman replied
Thank so much Pam! Sometimes the holes don’t seem to line up for some reason. Lol! Funny thing is I can do the same for someone else who’s looking for something and they can’t find it! And I can find it right away! Oh well, it’s nice to be able to help each other out like this! Thanks ever so much! If the Botanical Gardens would post signs at these trees. It’s a beautiful place but sadly in need of some maintenance work in this area.
