The coral jasmine with its beautiful colors and fragrance has always been a part of my life that made me admire it; an imperishable memory in me. I have spent time under this fragrant tree, just gazing at the fallen flowers that make a thick carpet in its bower. It has always stayed in my soul with fond and precious memories. In many ways it is special and I consider it a gift of love, a long forgotten feeling that emerges whenever I see this tree laden with flowers, raindrops or dew drops hanging on the buds and then the fallen flowers.
It is believed that the fragrance is the feelings of flowers. The coral jasmine does have intense feelings and is capable of evoking intense emotions. It is one of the most fragrant flowers and also known as night jasmine as they bloom at night and fall off to the ground by dawn, wafting the fragrance around and forming a tapestry of white and orange. I love these flowers for the sheer fact that they bloom and fall off in graceful beauty.
The coral jasmine tree is also known as 'The tree of sorrow.' But for me it has been a source of joy and inspiration.

You captivated me,
drenched in raindrops
my mind singing in joy,
at the sight of you,
a fragrance around me,
an untold emotion,
deep in my soul.
Blossoms of love,
that never fades,
in ethereal beauty,
of a misty glow,
truly evoking passion,
whispering sweetly at night,
with vivid memory.
A long forgotten feeling,
of a little girl,
gazing shyly at a tree,
shaking heavy laden branches,
gathering fallen flowers,
a mystery lingers on,
the fragile coral jasmine.

It's believed that every fragrance has a story. The sweet smell of the 'pavizhamalli' took you to your childhood. And brought back fond memories associated to it . Lovely note Geethechi.
True Asha. I see this tree wherever I move out, keeping those memories fresh in my mind.
Thank you Asha.
