Pink and White Jasmine Plant


 One evening walking around my block, approaching by neighbour's house I saw this plant. As I walked closer, I began to smell an amazing sweet floral scent emanating from the flowers.  I feel in love with this plant immediately. The next day I went over to the Agro shop explaining the colour and scent, since I didn't know it's exact name. She told me some interesting facts about this plant, it was brought here to Trinidad, by the indian indentured labourers from India. It is a family of the white Jasmine plant (also smells lovely). The scent is only secreted at night when the flowers are open. The scientific name is Jasminum Polyanthum. The flowers are used to make perfumes, which I tried recently and it smelt just as lovely and I use it every day. If you're interested in making the floral perfume, let me know in the comments below.

Hi guys, Rosemary is an amazing herb, I use it in seasonings especially baking and herbal teas. So here's the conditions for this plant to grow. Try growing these plants and let me know how it goes. Soil:  Plant rosemary in well-drained, loamy soil that is between a pH of six and seven. Sun:  Rosemary needs six to eight hours of sunlight each day. When planting rosemary indoors, be sure that its sunlight needs are met.  Water:   Similar to hardy sage, rosemary is relatively drought-tolerant. Let the soil dry out between each watering; rosemary does its best when the soil is not overly moist. Spacing: R osemary can grow into a thick, large, hedge-like plant, making it necessary to space each plant up to three-feet apart  . Propagation:   Clip a three-inch cutting from the very tip of a stem, remove the leaves one inch from the base, apply rooting hormone on the exposed portion of the stem, and plant it in a rooting mixture that includes both peat moss and vermiculite.
