Blooming Jasmine in Full Glory
The Science
This flowering Jasmine (Motia) tree is in full bloom, displaying white star shaped flowers that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The green leaves absorb sunlight through photosynthesis to produce energy for flowering. The fallen petals on the ground show the natural cycle of flower reproduction and seed dispersal.
Why I Chose It
I selected this photo because it beautifully captures plant biology in action, showing how flowering plants use colour and fragrance to support pollination right in our own surroundings.
