Jasmine in Moonlight

As I walked into the garden last night, the heady scent of Jasmine overwhelmed me. The bright white flowers with pink pinwheel centers shone brightly in the moonlight. How appropriate ... since I recently discovered that Jasmine is also called "Moonlight in the Grove"!

The intoxicating fragrance of this flower alters the mood and attracts you to it.  It wafts through the night air and while the flowers catch the moonlight - you often smell it before you see it!  No small wonder then that Jasmine is used in many attraction, love and good luck spells and also to enhance personal beauty and attractiveness.

I love the smell of different flowers. It takes me to a different time and places just by smelling them. It reminds me of the feeling that once present inside my heart. It revives the young lady inside me, a lady that's just learning what love is. Jasmine in particular, takes me to the time where me and my mother is just strolling around the garden and sharing each others thought and feeling. Rose gives me a nostalgic feeling and remembering one particular person in my life.

They are not made to current standards of manufacturing ... and in my opinion, that is usually a good thing!
