Wattle and jasmine



Hi again.. wow, so far more than one post in a day. That is too much. So I had these pictures saved in my file so I thought I'd tell you some useless information.. you see, these are my two favourite flowers. Not for visual appeal, but for their smell! They have an astounding ability to prompt memories of ages ago. Where my mum lived when I was little, there was jasmine growing on this fence and a wattle tree outside the window, so when you'd wake up you'd open the window (a little sliding one, next to each bunk bed) and you'd instantly smell wattle pollen! Yum. And the jasmine, it also tastes really nice; you pull off the green stemmy part and the base of the flower tastes really sweet, so it not only smells nice but tastes nice and looks pretty sweet too! So here they are.
