Vallaris glabra

The fragrance of this flower is akin to that of the fragrant screw pine (Pandan in Malay). Its Malay names are Kerak Nasi or Kesidang. This creeper grows in a pot outside my fence but climbs up a pergola all the way to my balcony in the upper storey of my house. As a result, I can enjoy its lovely fragrance even at night from the comfort of my balcony!

    At my kampung, common known as bunga kerak nasi. One of my late mother favourite flower. The smell are so sweet & frangrant. I've one at home. Still waiting for bloomings.

      Bunga wangi yg menjadi ratu di "hidung" saya! Dulunya cempaka sebelum mengenali Kerak Nasi. Cempaka sudah dihantar balik ke kg sbb terlalu besar utk pasunya.

      Kalau Bunda suka wangi pandan, kena tanam pkk ni. Tapi ada org tak tahan baunya, sakit kepala. Saya tak tahan wangi kemuning dan kenanga.

    Teringat dekat dengan sekolah anak ada carpark orang tu penuh kesidang naik.
    Satu hari nampak dah roboh terus atap tu dek kesidang yang dah makin berat sampai sekarang tak putus-putus berbunga.
