Sampige - Champaka

Telugu-Sampangi

Sampige flower - Sweet fragrance that spreads wide

Recall sampige road in malleswaram. Once upon a time, the entire road stretch had tree lines of these champaka trees.

They grow to become trees of large size with medium sized trunk and large leaves. The flowers bloom though the year and the fragrance of the flowers can be felt far and wide.   Generally it may take few years before the tree grows to become a big tree.

The sampige flower  comes in few colors. I know of white and saffron.
