    I enjoy just looking at that beauty. I had a huge jasmine in my garden that mostly died over the winter, with only a few straggly long shoots with buds, recently cut down by a gardener; I’m bereft. But the wisteria is out and rose buds have appeared. Meanwhile, many jasmines live on my shelves, the viridescent Fueguia Amalia being my most worn, followed by SL A La Nuit.

      Sincere apologies for the horrendously late reply; I have had a great deal going on.

      There is a Fueguia store in Ginza I might have to visit specifically to smell Amalia – do you think I would like it?

        I wish I had sophisticated enough insight to know. It’s very sharp and fresh, long-lasting, not a hint of sickly-making sweetness, in my view. I love it.

        And really sorry it’s been tough for you. Are the legs being difficult?

    That’s the same type of jasmine we have all over Berkeley, California. It blooms twice a year. Heavenly.

    That is a common shrub in California, Jasminum polyanthum – delightfully fragrant in spring and summer.
    My raat ki rani ( queen of the night) jasmine is blasting its honey buttered sweetness in my yard! Something, anything to give us hope in these unprecedented times.

      This was my point precisely. I have been rendered speechless by everything; personal woes and the world itself. Hence the crap post (apologies for the rude failure to reply!)

      In the moment I just had to respond to the divinity of the jasmine!
