Since it's now June I thought I would post this very popular flower used in wedding bouquets. I had it my bouquet 33 years ago. From "Wikipedia - The best known species is Stephanotis floribunda (Madagascar jasmine), which is cultivated as a tropical or hothouse ornamental, and whose flowers are a popular element in wedding bouquets. The Stephanotis has grown in popularity over the past few years along with some of the other spring flowering vines. It is known by a few different names such as the “Madagascar jasmine” and the “bridal veil”." The fragrance is wonderful and does smell similar to Jasmine. All comments and critiques appreciated.

Beautiful closeup, Kathy. It has such a creamy white texture. I see why it would be a favorite. I can't even remember what I had for a bouquet. I made it myself. lol (The second one)

Very lovely Kathy - such a pure white.
You have placed it so well against the dark green leaves.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
