Sometimes the little things in life that we have missed pass us by simply because we weren't paying attention. Almost too late this season I discovered what a beautiful flower jasminum officinale is for flower arranging. I've been growing it for years without realising! I discovered this as I was ruthlessly
cutting back this lovely summer flowering jasmine which has pretty flowers and leaves, and a glorious fragrance. I noticed that a few flowers and buds remained among the cuttings, so I put them in a little crystal vase. The buds are now opening, and the fragrance that this little arrangement exudes is amazing. Just so you know, the vase is only about 5 inches high.
