Jasmine Stephnense

 
 
Jasmine in my balcony finally started flowering. I've been waiting for this moment. Actually this jasmine is not the common one, Pink Jasmine. It's known by the name of  "Jasmine Stephnense" in Japan.
 
 
待ちに待ったジャスミン・ステファネンセが咲いた
 
 
 
 
As you can see, the clump of flowers is less dense than the regular one, which means that its scent is faint. Pink Jasmine has rich smell, but it's too strong for me. I love this slight scent in the breeze, especially when opening the window.
 
 
 
Yuuさんのアドバイスでリビングの窓際に誘引
 



In addition, love its pale pink color of the petals which reminds me of cherry.

 
普通のジャスミンよりも花の密度が低いこともあってかすかな香り
毎朝窓を開けるたびに癒される(*´艸‘)

ここに誘引してよかった〜
Yuuさん、ありがと〜〜


 
 
 
By the way, I'm going to San Francisco on a business trip next week. Unfortunately, I'll have only a day I can spend for sightseeing. If you know some recommended place to visit, please let me know!  FYI, the hotel I'm going to stay is located in Union Square. 
 
During the trip, my sons and I agreed to a contract of taking care of plants bellow; lol
 
1) Basic rate for watering every day                         xxx yen.
2) Some plants die on my return date                       Deduct 100 yen a pot.
3) Every plant is kept in good shape.               Give a bonus!         
 
Without this contract, they would forget to water.
Hope my sons will well take care of during my absence...
 
I won't have much of a chance to be on the computer during the trip.
So, see you next month:)
 
 
来週から仕事でサンフランシスコへいってきます。
不在期間中、キチさんのアドバイス通り息子たちと水やり契約を締結!
 
1) 毎日の水やり                                      基本料金 ×××円、
2) 帰国時に枯れていたら                     マイナス100円/鉢
3) 全て完璧な状態を保っていたら         ボーナスをどどん!と支給
 
これを聞いた次男、超ブーイングから一転、がぜんやる気マンマン!
「長男の分も自分がやる」と兄に交渉開始(笑)
 
効果絶大〜〜\(^o^)/
調子にのって花がら摘みまでさせちゃおっかナ 
よいアドバイスをさんきゅ〜でした、キチさん❤
 
というワケで来月まで、あでゅ〜(^^)/~~~
 
あ、携帯メールはしばらくつながらなくなります。

  1. I haven't see pink jasmine before, it looks great! I used to have a huge white Jasmine officinalis, but I removed it due to space and saved two cuttings which I now grow as Bonsai trees!

    Good luck with your trip, I don't know San Francisco but I am sure other people will come with recommendations for you. Hope your boys will take good care of your garden :-)

    Jasmim rosa perfumado... só uma vez vi em minha vida, no jardim de minha avó e nunca mais.
    Tenho lindas recordações de criança.

    Bom fim de semana!
