Star Jasmine by gardenfolk

Star Jasmine

No awesome sight to behold
While petals delicately unfold
T'is not a flower of bouquet stance
Nor a token of romance
But heavenly perfume fills the air
A scent no other can compare
It fills the nose with such delight
The Jasmine flower so small and white.
...Jacqui Griffiths

The star jasmine has an abundance of tiny blooms that smell very fragrant and wonderful on a summer evening. They remind me of pinwheels too. This is a close up view from an abundant hedge, covering both sides of the fence.
Fabulous poem and capture. I love Jasmine and have a few varieties that bloom at different times.

@kchuk That sounds lovely Elyse! I have a big hedge that covers and grows on both sides of the fence. Plus an arbor arch over the background fountain. My garden smelled wonderful.
