    Jasmine Plant

    The last few days a jasmine plant in the neighborhood was been in bloom...

    It's so fragrant that I feel giddy (ME? GIDDY?)- when I walk out into the yard.

    If you have this plant in your area or home don't pass up the chance to get a whiff...

    It's pretty spectacular!

    Richard, I sort of remember you mentioning this before and I think you used the same word - giddy. Somehow I can't quite picture you "giddy." Do ya think you could get a picture for us? Of you being giddy that is, not the plant....although a pic of the plant would be nice too.

    Lol,

    Yep, I said giddy.

    Wasn't there a study a while back that said men like cinnamon??

    "Honey, you smell like a fresh, hot cinnamon roll......I love you!!!"

    I don't know what it is about jasmine......it makes me lame and it makes me want to sit there and nod off! It's very soothing.

    Do you remember the acrylic stuff they used to use in the nail salons? One whiff of that would go straight to my head...It tweaked something in the old brain.......It was almost painful!!

    I guess I'm susceptible to aromatherapy.

    Hint - if anyone is interested in wooing Richard, Jasmine perfume ladies. Either that or a fresh manicure.

    Wow, Richard giddy?? This I gotta see. Maybe I should bring a jasmine plant to the BBQ??

    I just love the smell of Lily of the Valley and Hyacinth!

    NO YOU DON'T....

    Instead of going shopping toss a few bucks to the local shelter, or buy a few cans of food to donate...

    Thanks!!!!

    Richard, is the bloom white? The Jasmine I am thinking of is called "Confederate Jessamine" in the south, but I'm sure it has another name in other places (what proper non-southerner would use the word Confederate to describe anything?).

    I love the fragrance of Confederate Jessamine!

    I'll 'sniff' around the neighborhood tonight.

    At first I though you wrote "counterfeit"....

    This reminds me of something that happened recently. I got this new pineapple perfume from an aromatherapy company. Now, the scent of pineapple is notoriously hard to synthesize and usually ends up smelling fake and weird.

    Well, not this one!

    I had it on at work and one of the guys that works with me walked up to me, took a really deep breath and told me I smelled "succulent"!

    lololololol

    I took that as quite the compliment coming from a gay man!

    Mmmm, Jasmine is one of my favorite scents. I almost always pause when walking up to my boyfriend's house because the jasmine in his yard smells soooo good!

    Thank you Wolf_Q!
