J - Jasmine

Jasmine is the only flower I know that starts with J, and with this letter coming up on ABC Wednesday I was faced with a problem. I do have a picture of jasmine in my file, but all were blurry! I could post that, or skip this week's letter.

Luckily, when I last went to the weekend market in Lung Center of the Philippines, I saw one kiosk that sells flowering plants and he had this:

Jasmine


... the Jasmine! I was really happy when I saw this because I don't have to either post the old blurry picture or skip this week's episode. I quickly grabbed pointed my camera on the flower and took pictures.

The Jasmine is very similar to the Philippines' national flower, the Sampaguita, but of course both were different flowers even if they look and smell almost the same.

Oh really? Well... there are lots of flowers I could only see in pictures, too. It's so great to have internet - we can get the best of both worlds.
I like the sound of "jasmine." So lucky you found one to photo!

I was so happy, too! When I saw the flower, it felt as if winning the lottery. :)
Jasmine has always been one of my most favourite flowers - I love the scent, and the little white flowers themselves! I have two plants, which I nearly lost last winter, and they've recovered, but no blooms this year. :(

Very fragile flowers, though... they easily fall off. Thanks for dropping by.
that's sweet!
Great shot. I love jasmine - we have some in our garden and the smell in the summer is beautiful.
