Arabian Jasmine from my garden

Sharing a picture of the Arabian Jasmine from my garden. It’s been growing beautifully, and the fragrance is incredible!

I can almost smell the photo! Such a beautiful plant.

Me too! The scent is unforgettable.

You can use a couple of the flowers in your tea—it’s the same jasmine used in Chinese jasmine tea.

This has to be the best-smelling flower ever! :two_hearts:

I’m so jealous! I remember seeing motia plants in Pakistan—such beautiful memories. Wish I could have brought some back with me.

This is my absolute favorite flower!

Lovely!

Wow, the structure of this plant is so appealing!

Sampaguita! I used to make necklaces with these flowers back in the Philippines.

That’s amazing! Such a cool tradition.

WOW… impressive!

Absolutely beautiful!

This reminds me of our honeymoon in Provence. Breakfast on a patio surrounded by the scent of jasmine was magical. :heart:

One of the best-smelling flowers ever!

I love jasmine, but it’s crazy invasive where I live in Michigan. It spreads like wildfire, but I can’t resist the fragrance when it’s in bloom!

This variety isn’t invasive, but I know Star Jasmine can be a problem in some areas.

@Ray
Yeah, the one at my place is definitely on the aggressive side. Still, it’s gorgeous when it’s blooming!

@Nyle
I’ll check this summer when it’s going wild again. It’s a beautiful plant, though!

@Ray
Star jasmine is a nightmare! I planted it for the fragrance, but it’s completely taken over and doesn’t even bloom anymore. Ugh!
