Oh..all this talk of Jasmine...makes me long for our Sampaguita..that is what we call Jasminum sambac in the Philippines, which happens to be our national flower. I remember always buying Sampaguita after hearing mass..we always have street vendors outside the church selling them. It is an evergreen plant grown outdoors year round with lots of the intense humidity and rains there.
Lovely sweet scent!
Sold often in a garland. So Hawaii has their plumeria leis...in the Phils. we have the Sampaguita garland.
Don't mind me folks..just reminiscing..
