It’s a quiet trick the plant does. Jasmine, like many others, watches the length of daylight and the warmth in the air. When those cues hit just right—usually around the solstice—the flowers start to sweat that sweet scent. Think of it as nature’s own timing system, not a marketing gimmick. It’s pretty neat, but it’s also a reminder that if we keep rushing, we might miss the moment it wants to bloom.
