EJ loves the smell of fresh Jasmine flowers.
The late Cookie used to love to sleep here during every hot afternoons.
On those really hot afternoons, EJ, siblings and mom were extremely envious just watching Cookie sleep. It felt good and comforting just staring at him in deep slumber there unmoving. In fact, they felt the coolness Cookie was getting and secretly wished either they could make themselves small to crawl in together with Cookie or make that little hut and Jasmine plant big.
With those sweet scent and shade, who wouldn't want to be under the Jasmine Tree?
Below is the Jasmine flower (Jasminum Sambac) plant EJ planted grown from a cutting of the Jasmine plant Cookie slept under at EJ's Mom's porch. That porch has been renovated and that Jasmine plant removed.
Currently EJ is trying to grow the Jasmine plant again after an invasion of snails destroyed it.
Love those jasmines too!

There is nothing like the scent of jasmine. Next time I see you, I'll bring you some citrus enzyme. I've heard that spraying plants with a dilution of it will deter snails & other pests. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of jasmine. Good luck with your invasion of snails, I am trying to keep the slugs away from some of my plants.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice place it was ! You also have a snail invasion ??? It's terrible here too ! they eat all plants ! I bought a product which I put all over the garden and then I had over 100 shells !! Because then I stopped counting ! What a plague !
ReplyDeleteI don't think I ever whiffed a Jasmine, but it sure looks nice!
ReplyDeleteWe had to look closely at the first pic to find Cookie! :-)
ReplyDeleteWe can only imagine how lovely the jasmine must smell.
Mom said when she lived in Florida she had a jasimine plant. They smell lovely. I hope your plant thrives and that some way to deter the snails/slugs happens.
ReplyDeleteMe and Charlie hope EJ's jasmine gets to grow big and fragrant in memory of beautiful angel Cookie!! Take care

We have jasmine too, and Mommy says she loves it so much.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww, that's a perfect nap place for sure! We sure hope EJ gets the Jasmine plant growing again. At our Mumsy's Mom's house is a Snowball plant, a Hi-drain-geia, that she grew from a cutting of one that grew at Mumsy's childhood home. Some things are just always special.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Jasmine! My mom loves it and so do I!!

I love the smell of Jasmine used to have it. Something killed it, no doubt the snails or our poor soil.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect napping place. We hope the Jasmine starts to thrive again.
we love Jasmine... and your talk of heat makes us so envious! Its our Summer but its pouring and floods! Thank you for visiting, love Helen, Darcy and Bingley xxx

ReplyDeleteYou are right, who would not want to spend some time under those beautiful and fresh smelling Jasmine flowers!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week ahead:)
Oh, jasmine is the best, isn't it? We had a jasmine plant in front of our house growing up, and it smelled wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous it is to spend time for a while under a jasmine tree. I feel like sitting there too.
ReplyDeleteOh our Mom loves Jasmine and tried to grow it here but it didn't like our red clay.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like such a great place to nap that Cookie found and I bet it really smelled good there.
Hope you have a wonderful week.
What a nice memory. I still remember the luscious smell of Jasmine on our hikes in Kauai.
ReplyDeleteI love that flowery scent and there's nothing like watching a kitty snooze.
