Hi Rashida & Dinesh ji, i always find that these traditional flowers
raise such a wave of good feeling! When young i helped my mother make
gajras -bending the stalk into half & tying them using plantain pith
fibre-because the stalks are too tender to be tied using anything
else.
Thanks for the additional info too Rashida.
This has been a nice inter-change! Thanks:)
