Jasmine...an awesome flower

I love the Jasmine flower. Our home has these sweet smelling flowers.  Jasmine has an awesome perfume and most of the perfumes  are made from the jasmine extract. There are different kinds of jasmine and the ones that are most pungent are those that are thin and long with dark pink stripes on them. They are harvested as buds in the wee hours in the morning while it is still dark and left to bloom in special factories, to capture the perfume that the buds give out as they open. Every auspicious function such as weddings and so on use Jasmine as part of the celebrations.




 
One can never get tired of this pretty pure white flower. I did try to make a crochet replica of the jasmine and it was not successful!!
 
Wishing you sweet moments and keep smiling.
