It's just about this time when the Dok Champa trees in Laos seem to have the most flowers. They bloom all year long, but not as fully as they do around February. Not only are they beautiful flowers, their smell is exquisite and perfumes the nearby air at night. I can remember when I lived in Laos and would go see Bai when she was living at her aunt's and would walk back to my house in the warm evening and it was enchanting to walk by Dok Champa trees with their intoxicating fragrance. Just one part of the spell Laos has woven for me...
We have some nice paintings by Khamla of Dok Champa that you can see on our Yahoo Store website here and one of them you can see below.
