Orange Jasmine

A flower's fragrance declares to the world that it's fertile, desirable & available! When we inhale its ardent aroma, no matter what our ages, we feel young and nubile in a world aflame with desire. (Diane Ackerman)
The Orange Jasmine...known to many in Asia as the flower that has a "7-mile fragrance"!!

I love these little small white flowers; looking so humble and innocent. I planted these shrubs at the main entrance of my house because its fragrance is simple intoxicating. It's like a sweet smell of perfume welcoming anyone who comes to my house!
It is a whole new year again...to never let go of hope...to never quit dreaming...to still believe in miracles...to look forward to sweet memories and unforgettable times...and to always have love in our hearts.
To all my friends, new and old, thank you for your beautiful friendships. Every one of you are a unique flower in my friendship garden whom I treasure greatly. I look forward to a new year with all of you; we will take time to smell the fragrance of life's special moments and may we grow together, in joy or sadness.
A little note for the New Year 2011...
Your mind is a garden...
Your thoughts are the seeds...
The harvest can be either...flowers or weeds :)
