Ask someone to point out a tree of Tupaka flowers. The wonderful perfume will attract you because it will be familiar but identifying it is elusive.
Want flowers for a gift? Strangely they are not easy to find in the land of a thousand flowers but if you're in Bedugul there will be a good selection.
* If you're not in Bedugul try Heliconia shop in Seminyak, Jl Raya Seminyak. Ph (62-361) 732 700. The shop is next to a large gallery on the right hand side as you go up north. Highly recommended. They will deliver but you might need to say that its for a room if you order sight unseen. One order at a common Aussie price was so large that it had to be left in the hotel foyer.
* Just out of Sanur, on the road to Denpasar there are many gardens including orchid growers where you can buy the ultimate flower, Angrek, or orchids. The Bali Orchid Gardens regrettably do not now sell cut flowers ('05).
* Pepitos Supermarket in Tuban, towards the airport end of town always has some nice arrangements in a flower cooler.
* Rosa Flowers Ph 081 558 009 350.
