{Detail Floating Jasmines and Roses}

As promised in my two previous posts, here some more detail about my Floating Candles, Jasmines and Roses Center Pieces. First of all, only those that live in a subtropic or tropical climate will have access to these exotics, minus the roses of course. My selection of Table Setting was this time in white and Cream Color on Cream Color Wedgwood, Gardenia Bowl. Also the flowers are all white. That creates a very special atmosphere, pure romance and more like a thousand and one night fairy tale setting. Our idea of home décor and thus also table setting, has been greatly influenced by our world wide travels and work as consultants. We did bring home different cultures that emit more romance with their unique world wide blend. As stated before, it might give you some different ideas as well. Let me know what your thoughts are about this, love to hear feedback from my readers! Below this post you will find other links about Jasmine and Gardenia flowers which we do grow on our property. We both love those highly fragrant blossoms! Do you...?

Let's hope you did enjoy this fragrant 'Garden Tour' with me.
It smells and looks like Paradise. 
Too bad that the blooming season for the gardenias is only limited. 
The Jasminum Sambac - Maid of Orleans - Arabian Tea Jasmine remains blooming though, as well as the Jasminum Nitidum 'Royal Jasmine'. As usual, I have forgotten one Jasmine family-member; our Murraya Paniculata 'Orange Jasmine'... that is near our greenhouse. I'd gathered most though, a flower basket full of heavenly bliss! Thanks for your time but I sure loved to show them to you.

  9. What lovely company with breakfast to see your beautiful and fragrant evoking photos! Your photos and words have inspired me to ask about Jasmine on my trip to our local nursery later today. It brings back fond memories the thinking about Jasmine and it's captivating scent.

    Wishing you both a wonderful week-end. Many hugs to you..xo C. (HHL)

It's now winter here, and the flowers are starting to show, but long before they do that gorgeous scent floats through the air.
