Jasmine


This is one of the first to appear in my small deck garden last year. A very common flower in India called Juhi in Hindi, Jai in Marathi. Its a type of Jasmine.

For all the flower lovers this is very convenient to grow and makes a good fragrant indoor plant. Beautiful shade of white, it grows in bunches throughout the year.

It is also considered sacred and offered in prayers, or also worn in the hair by many women during marriages, auspicious functions.
