Mo Li Hua - Jasmine Flower.
The photo is from last Spring and will be my entry in the contest as it is now autumn here. This jasmine is in my garden, it's scent is lovely :)
Mo Li Hua is Chinese for Jasmine Flower and is also an old Chinese folksong dating from the 18th century. It has become quite famous. You can read about it HERE and there is a version of the song by Celine Dion and Song Zuyong HERE

Mo li hua looks bright and beautiful Lyn. Makes a good entry for the contest. You know that you can post any old photo any time. Nobody says it has to be a fresh photo taken especially for the contest.

I love everything about jasmine!

The flowers, the glossy green leaves, the scent and the wonderful tea it make (which I drink regularly). I really like the one purple bud on the left and the water drops that make the whole image look fresh and springy.

Very nice contest entry!

I was hoping that Mo Li Hua was a fried noodle dish (my favourite)but I'll happily settle for this gorgeous image Lyn.
