In Malaysia, the pandanus amarylifolius or fragrant pandan leaves are used in floral potpourris we call 'bunga rampai'. The fragrance lasts quite a long time.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413996043953201770.post-26875841097954410842010-05-02T16:33:38.078-10:002010-05-02T16:33:38.078-10:00What a great post, beautiful pictures!!
