Jasmine garlands by mom

 


 Mom Strings flowers into a nice garlands using the plantain fibre. In olden days, people used to string the flowers with these fibre usually known as Vaalai Naar.

Her magical fingers paly well with the plantain fibre which is wetted now and then to make it flexible to tie the flowers together so that it will never fell apart.

She make such a nice garlands with all kind of flowers and today, she is back home after the bypass surgery which she underwent 6 months back.

She never let me go out with plain hairdo. She always gets beautiful flowers that spreads the fragrance of her love.

Though she is just recovering from such a painful surgery, she bought flowers from our neighbour and made such a beautiful bunch of flowers which will adore my hair.

There's nothing like a mother's love and she makes such gorgeous garlands. I love these flowers. I never knew there was such a thing as plantain fibre, until now.
