Little White Stars



These little white flowers have been in bloom in my garden from Febuary.

They remind me of jasmine ('chameli') … though they have no fragrance ...

The flower has a simple form yet is very attractive because of its sheer numbers.

The white looks whiter against its dark green foliage and is really soothing to the eye.

It does a lot to brighten a corner of my garden with its white blooms that resemble little stars.

At present there are only a few flowers left .. I feel sad and can't wait for them to bloom again.
