Relationship between this organism and YOU and other organisms in the garden (WRITTEN NOTE)

The Jasmine plant was located in the temperate show house. As this plant is naturally found in temperate to tropical environments, it was growing in a sprawling way that surrounded the olive trees. The blooms were very fragrant and would attract pollinators easily. As I was smelling the fragrance it elicited gratitude in that the lovely fragrance cheered me up immediately.
