Rajnigandha Rhapsody

When in season, I always had vase full of these tuberose stalks at home in India. Today is the first time I found them here in TO.

Self control has never been my forte, especially when it comes to my favorite flowers – Rajnigandha. So they had to come home with me and get snug in my pink vase.

Don’t they look exotic with my statue of Lakshmi? I am so obsessed with Rajnigandha, that for my wedding (which was a traditional Bengali one), I had instructed the florist to do the decorations only with these fragrant flowers and red roses. I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Thankfully it was a monsoon wedding which meant Rajnigandha flowers were in plenty then.
