Flame of the Woods, West Indian Jasmine

This was another plant that was gifted to me by my brother and his wife. I remember sucking the flowers for the honey in it while growing up in India.

Called Thechi poo in malayalam is an offering to Lord Krishna at Guruvayoor and being His birthday I was fortunate to offer the same to the Lord today with Tulsi (basil) leaves.

For Cee’s Flower of the Day!
