Jasmine
Jasminum · aka poet's jasmine, star jasmine (Trachelospermum)
Jasmine's fragrance is one of the most powerful in the flower world — a single sprig can perfume a room. Vining stems are used extensively in Indian and Arabic bridal traditions, threaded into hair and worn around wrists. Short vase life (3–5 days) makes it strictly an event-day flower; plan accordingly.
