These mogras (jasmines) are from one of his potted plants which has been giving us flowers in huge numbers throughout this year! There are five here and there were still fully bloomed flowers on the plant which he did not pluck. We try to leave them if there are buds around them.
Interestingly, the early flowers did not have much fragrance despite being prolific, unlike the other plant which gave few but extremely fragrant blooms. And I was quite disappointed - good to look at, but not to inhale. Suddenly a month back, in its third or fourth flourish, the heavenly fragrance arrived!
I haven't taken any pics of his potted plants in a long while, but many of them are doing really good, giving us so much pleasure including a 'crop' of ajwain (oregano) leaves, etc. Some, though have had to be replaced.
You are truly blessed to have a wonderful husband to present you with such treasures! Maybe the plant that had so many blooms wasn't able to produce fragrance for so many. But I know very little of plants, especially jasmines.
ReplyDeleteWe have jasmine in the garden. It seems to be quite picky about where it will grow. Jack planted it in several places, but it didn’t grow in all of them.
