Fragrance that Lasts...

Fragrance that Lasts... by д§mд.
Motiyaa ... my fave most flower.

Probably its in human psyche to associate human touches with fragrances. The sweet and light fragrance of motiyaa reminds me always of my mother.

The purity and sweetness .... and the hidden yet so obvious love :)

I wonder why roses are so popular as show of love ... for me it should be Motiyaa ... always =)

It’s look like “beli” flower.
In Bangladesh, we called it “beli”.
Fragrances are really wonderful. & also my favorite flower too.

perhaps cuz they're considered more beautiful..

we used to have mogra/motia plant at our nani's place... and it was one hell of a good big motia of aala quality... motia always reminds me of my nani's place!

What a wonderful photograph of fresh motiya flowers. The fragrance of these flowers from east is unforgetable. My mother also used to make garlands of these flowers fresh every morning and wear them.

It eminded me a verse of Faiz:

Jaisay sehraon mai holay say chalay baad e naseem
Jaisay beemar ko bay wajhay qaraar aa jaiey

My mother is quite addicted to mottiyaas too... we have several plants of them all around our home & every morning after prayers she goes out to pluck them, places them in a wet cloth & all day long our tv lounge smells like mottiyaas =)
