Jasmine

Jasmine (taxonomic name Jasminum /ˈjæsmnəm/) is a genus of shrubs and vines in the olive family (Oleaceae). It contains around 200 species native to tropical and warm temperate regions of the Eurasia, Australasia and Oceania. Jasmines are widely cultivated for the characteristic fragrance of their flowers. A number of unrelated plants contain the word "Jasmine" in their common names (see Other plants called "Jasmine").

Description

Jasmines can be either deciduous (leaves falling in autumn) or evergreen (green all year round), and can be erect, spreading, or climbing shrubs and vines. Their leaves are borne opposite or alternate. They can be simple, trifoliate, or pinnate. The flowers are typically around 2.5 cm (0.98 in) in diameter. They are white or yellow in color, although in rare instances they can be slightly reddish. The flowers are borne in cymose clusters with a minimum of three flowers, though they can also be solitary on the ends of branchlets. Each flower has about four to nine petals, two locules, and one to four ovules. They have two stamens with very short filaments. The bracts are linear or ovate. The calyx is bell-shaped. They are usually very fragrant. The fruits of jasmines are berries that turn black when ripe.

Jasmine (Taiwanese singer)

Jasmine (Chinese: 庭竹; pinyin: Tíng Zhú; born January 5, 1981), also known as Ting Chu, is a singer-songwriter who made her debut in the Taiwanese music industry in 2007. She has a contract under start-up recording company HummingBird Music, the same company Hong Kong-based band Soler belongs to.

Early life

Jasmine was born in Taibei, Taiwan on January 5, 1981. She began songwriting in her teenage years after her uncle died. She wrote her first work, "Blessing", after learning to play the guitar. When she entered university, she continued writing music and performing at bars and coffee shops. Upon graduation, she entered into the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, California. She was discovered by Hong Kong music producer and Musicians Institute faculty member Lupo Groining, who offered her a contract with HummingBird Music.

Debut

Jasmine named her album Yu Sheng - The Sound of Rain (simplified Chinese: 雨声; traditional Chinese: 雨聲) in honor of her idol, Taiwanese singer 張雨生 (Chang Yu-Sheng), using a homophone of Zhang's given name 雨生 (literally 'Rain-Life').

    Jasmine's taste grows deeper than the ocean or her dreams
    For what it's worth
    Jasmine's taste grows deeper than the ocean or her dreams
    For what it's worth
    Volatile she wants your fear
    She's old, old before her years
    Jasmine's taste conspires to dignify her harmful ways
    For what that's worth
    Jasmine's taste backfires if you refuse to play those games
    For all they're worth
    Insecure she feeds her thoughts and needs
    With images and dreams
    Take me up
    Take me up to your heaven
    And shower me with your light
    Take me down
    Take me down to your torment
    Uncover me with your fire
    Jasmine's taste can stretch beyond the depths of your desire
    To your dismay
    Jasmine's taste delights in all the intricate designs
    of disarray
    Take me up
    Take me up to your heaven
    And shower me with your light
    Take me down
    Take me down to your torment
    Uncover me with your fire
    Time will only push her strengths
    To extraordinary lengths
    She''ll trade secure for misery
    And innocence for ecstasy
    She sees herself and cries
    Take me up
    Take me up to your heaven
    And shower me with your light
    Take me down
    Take me down to your torment
    Uncover me with your fire
