Jasmine - Polonnaruwa - Dec 2010, originally uploaded by righthalf.
Dec 2010:
Sampaguita, a variety of Jasmine, is very important as a daily offering to Buddha in Sri Lankan rituals. So much so that in 17th century Lanka, the King granted land to a set of officers who cultivated these flowers for the rituals on that land, and were even allowed to confiscate others' land for this purpose.
