I took this photo a few days ago on the Nokia phone, wishing to capture the play of light over the jasmine blossom. It isn’t a perfumed jasmine, just a hardy version. I didn’t notice the fly until later.

You weren’t wearing your glasses again. Must admit, I had to look twice to find it.

I like it IN SPITE OF (1) the fly, and (2) its lack of scent.

You have captured the the light and shadow on the blossom perfectly here, Christine. It’s a lovely photo. It’s very different to photos I’ve taken this morning in England. The land was white with frost earlier on and, naturally, it was very picturesque but very cold. Your photo makes me long for summer – and flowers like your jasmine.

Thanks Millie. It doesn’t get much colder than minus 10 degrees celsius here, Central Victoria, at its very worst, thank goodness! 🙂

Wonderful photo, Christine. I wouldn’t be surprised if the little critters haven’t heard about your showcasing some of their friends and are rushing to be in your pictures? 🙂

They are beautiful, but I’ve never seen a jasmine flower without perfume.

Hi Elizabeth. It’s hardy, frost resistant variety, and I didn’t know the difference when I bought it. Perhaps it isn’t a true jasmine. I just went out and stuck my nose right in, barely a scent! 😀

A gorgeous photograph! … and I wouldn’t have noticed the fly if you hadn’t mentioned him. I was too captivated by the light on the white blossoms. Beautiful.

Beautiful. I love jasmine, it’s so delicate and a beautiful clear white and smells devine, if scented. One year on a holiday on a Greek island we had it growing all around the pergola in our villa and I loved to just sit and catch it’s beautiful aroma on the breeze. Wonderful memories. Can’t even find the fly :S

The fly is in the bottom left hand section, Michelle, just above the flower buds. 😀
