One of the most strong fragrant flower in my garden is ‘Night Jasmine’ or ‘Parijat’ (or กรรณิการ์ in Thai). Native to India, Night Jasmine flowers bloom at night and cast off in the morning so the tree is sometimes called the ‘Tree of Sorrow’.
The orange tube in center of the flower can be used as a sourse of yellow dye for clothing while many parts such as leaves and seeds have been used as traditional medicine.
