» Corrinne Hopkins has had a Wrightia religiosa, known in Thai as mok, in the same pot for more than five years. ''I really love it, especially when it is in full bloom, the fragrance is just very unique and perfumey,'' she wrote. ''Recently, maybe for the last two months or so, the flower buds dropped off without turning into flowers, and lately, even before they turn to buds they are dried out, almost burnt like. The leaves also have become smaller and shrivelled up on some of them. I am not sure what to do, or what the problems are. I really love this plant.''
