Spotted in rainy Portland, Oregon, these flowers are very fragrant when wet.

Does anyone know their name? Kampot Peppercorns for the person who correctly identifies these flowers. Last time we did this a woman in Croatia identified a flower on Waiheke Island in New Zealand.

  2. Kampot Peppercorns for everyone!
