When The Jasmine Is High

The Jasmine is out out the moment it is glorious, I love it and have planted lots of evergreen and deciduous varieties in my garden.  The flowers light up at dusk and look like thousands of little stars and the fragrance just wafts all over the garden, with the windows open it is permeating the house.  I have been languid every afternoon as I lie on a chaise longue, watching Wimbledon, I get sudden bursts of it's beautiful fragrance and in the late evening, outside, draining the last of a fine bottle, with friends, the fragrance is still working it's magic on all our senses.

In Persian Jasmine means "Gift From God", enjoying it as I am at the moment it truly is.
