2Buddhist Udumbara Flower

Udumbara is the name given to the flower and fruit of the Ficus racemosa tree. Like most trees in the fig family, the flower grows inside of the fruit, so it’s very rarely seen.

Buddhist tradition states that the flower only blooms once every 3,000 years and, even though it is small, the flower gives off a strong, lovely scent.
