Wilting White Jasmine Flower
This photo essay documents a wilting white Jasmine flower I found in my garden. As a rule, I avoid picking flowers, and this tiny specimen had fallen naturally beneath the Jasmine shrub. Sadly, I suspect it was blown off by a strong wind. When I picked it up from the soil, its scent was still exquisite, though fleeting. As expected, the flower quickly decomposed, taking its sweet fragrance with it.
What Does a White Jasmine Flower Synbolise?
Whenever I have a flower in the studio for study, I enjoy researching its symbolic meaning. The white Jasmine flower has a rich history, often referenced in poetry and art. I came across a lovely explanation from Rebekah P. on the Florgeous blog, which I’ve included below:
“The white jasmine flower is the most common shade you will see, and it’s also the most commonly referenced in poems and artistic works. White is usually associated with purity, virginity, and innocence.”
