Love this photo, the flowers are very pretty, and the woman has such beautiful hands, holding out the strings of blossoms in such an elegant gesture. What are the flowers for - an offering maybe?
I've always been amazed at the patience it must take to string these garlands so perfectly. I guess it gets easier with practice like anything else, but still... And jasmine is such a small bloom too! Neat shot here.

Hello Indrani it's beautiful and really sweet fragrance we make it also into a necklace and this widely cultivated here in the Philippines for commercial purpose. It's local name here is sampaguita and it is our national flower...
