Don't decide to get hurt, just go along with all of this knowing there's nothing I can do but keep going. I am pushed and pulled by forces and I know that where I am is a place I will look back on, with nostalgia, with a very intense memory.

Yessss… Sampaguita is the most “mabangong” flower for me. Maybe because I grew up smelling this flower at my grandma’s altar almost everyday when I was young. 🙂

Native New Jerseyan here & I own a Sampaguita for 10 years now, so wonderful! I live atop a small Mtn in the Northern part of the state with cold winters. Somehow this plant survives here although come springtime it looks o be strugglin’ mightily each year due to the dry heat needed to warm our homes each winter. But all summer it’s happily outside soaking up the rain & Sun = smiling broadly. It was given o me by 1 of your proud “Kabigian” (I hope I spelled correctly?) & ” I Promised ” Her (Is that what Sampaguita means in Tagalog?)I’d take good care of it because she could no longer keep it & was moving back to the Island.
Can anyone advise how to take cuttings to start new plants? I have not had any luck after many attempts. My Sampaguita is the 2-leaved variety & looks exactly like the 1 at the top of this page.
Thanks!
