Jasmine
Jasmine is a genus of shrubs and vines in the olive family. Jasmine has a sweet aroma that is famous all around the world. It’s a representative of the gentle, pure love between a mother and child. However, it is often used in temple offerings, decorations, and as gifts to elders. This tropical and subtropical flower is native to Asia. Many botanists believe Persia, now Iran, is where jasmine originated. It crossed the Red Sea into Egypt as early as 1000 B.C., then found its way to Turkey and Greece.
