Jasmine is one off my favourite flower. Jasmine is a very popular flower around the world, especially in tropics because of its unique fragrance. Jasmine flowers are white in most species, with some species being yellow flowered. The flowers are worn by women in their hair in southern and southeast Asia. We Indians, always uses it as a compulsory flower for even our prayers, weddings and most of the cultural functions. The delicate jasmine flower opens only at night and may be plucked in the morning when the tiny petals are tightly closed, then stored in a cool place until night. The petals begin to open between six and eight in the evening, as the temperature lowers. Jasmine essential oil is in common use. Its flowers are either extracted by the labour-intensive method of enfleurage or through chemical extraction. It is expensive due to the large number of flowers needed to produce a small amount of oil. The flowers have to be gathered at night because the odour of jasmine is more powerful after dark. The flowers are laid out on cotton cloths soaked in olive oil for several days and then extracted leaving the true jasmine essence. It is also used to do perfumes and incense. There are cultural importance of jasmine flower in India. I love it too..
