Dandelion Flower - Sign of Spring

It's springtime - Yeah!

The Medicinal use of the Dandelions

Dandelions, 

flowers, roots and leaves, have been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine & medicinal teas, most notably for liver detoxification, as a natural diuretic and for inflammation reduction.

There is also evidence that this property of dandelion leaves may normalize blood sugar.

Jasmine on Palm trees

Have you ever seen something like this? The palm tree is covered with Jasmine flowers!

Can you imagine how sweet this smells?
Hmmmm..... so fragrant in the spring breeze.

Scent of Jasmine

Jasmine or Jessamine (Jasminum) (from Persian yasmin, i.e. "gift from God"^[1][2], via Arabic^[3]) is a genus of shrubs and vines in the olive family (Oleaceae),with about 200 species, native to tropical and warm temperate regions of the Old World. The majority of species grow as climbers on other plants or on structures. The leaves can be either evergreen or deciduous, and are opposite in most species; leaf shape is simple, trifoliate or pinnate with up to nine leaflets. Jasmine tea is also very efficient against coughs, sore throats or other problems to do with the bronchites.
