Thank you for your comment!
It smells sweet. According to a horticulturist of the Hiroshima Botanical Garden, the flower of Common putat opens only in the night. We have tours to go to south island of Japan to observe the flowers.

If I have a chance, I would like to see natural Common Putat.

Looks like lots of little fireworks going off - does it smell?
