Dear friends, Recently I have been watching, jasmine flowers are selling in the traffic signal near to our bus stop. (It is a big junction and many articles are sold on in this junction daily). Whenever I crossed that place I can smell the fragrance then automatically I search around from where it comes. I know the season of Jasmine flowers going on now. For us, we used to make garland with these flowers as plenty of flowers are available in courtyard. Decorating the hair with this flower garland is a normal thing or as a pride. Now on watching the flowers I just go back to the sweet times of my life (childhood). Do you have any sweet memories on any flowers? {Image - I took yesterday in my mobile, while the boy crossing with flowers)

I am glad that you have this instant trigger of the smell of the beautiful jasmine that takes you back to the childhood memories. Yes every time I see the flower the yellow flower of tulips or daffodils take me back to the childhood also when we would see them walking to school in the springtime.

Not all people love to decorate their hair with flowers. Only South Indians.

I think this flower is what we call sampagita. It has small white flowers and very fragrant scent.
