Hi guys, I know a few of you requested, how to make perfume from flowers. It's very simple and you can make it with any scented flowers in your garden. Just make sure you don't have any allergic reaction to the items you will be using.  You will need: 1. Scented Flowers 2. Rose water or witch hazel 3. Distilled water 4. Pot to boil in 5. Strainer 6. Spritzer bottle 7. Container (optional) Here's what you do, gather your flowers, the amount depends on how much you will like to make and the size of your bottle.

 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.

Over the covered stem wrap a piece of plastic and hold the plastic in place using wrapping twigs or normal string. Wait: In approximately 14-21 days rooting will start to appear from the stem. You will have to remove the wrapping to check for the newly grown root. Dig and Plant: Dig a hole large enough to hold the entire root and deep enough so that the stem joint is  two inches below the soil's surface. Place the plant in positi...
