Yellow Jasmines

The yellow jasmine is a delicate and lovely blossom in the most interesting hue of
sunshine yellow. They grow wild and bountiful, especially here in South Carolina.
I believe the jasmine is the state flower. They also have an intoxicating smell.
Lovely! We went for a drive last Sunday after church, just to spot as many yellow jasmines as we could. We saw them along the country roads, and the highways, too.

On the third or fourth day of March, there was quite a breeze, and it blew some


of the small,delicate jasmine blossoms into our driveway. For a day or so, there
seemed to be a yellow carpet of yellow flowers halfway up the drive. I was so in awe
of Nature's display. This is the first year that I have seen so many of the jasmines in one place. Really neat!
