This week on Sleepy Seedlings, we drift into the quiet world of jasmine—a delicate vine whose fragrance deepens as the day unwinds. From moonlit gardens in India to the shaded courtyards of Damascus, jasmine has long been a companion to love, memory, and stillness. With soft white blossoms and a scent that unfurls most richly at night, jasmine reminds us that beauty doesn’t always bloom in full light—it often waits for the hush.

We’ll explore the cultural history of Jasminum sambac and Jasminum officinale, discover the science behind its soothing scent, and listen to stories that stretch from temple garlands to teacups. Let your breath slow and your thoughts settle, wrapped in the calming perfume of a flower that thrives in twilight.
