Bedeutung
Describing a sweet-smelling plant.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The Sampaguita is the ultimate 'mabangong bulaklak'. It is sold in garlands to be hung on car rearview mirrors or religious statues to provide a natural air freshener. Fragrant flowers like Jasmine and Frangipani (Kalachuchi) are often used in spa treatments and traditional medicine across the region. During 'Flores de Mayo', children offer 'mabangong bulaklak' to the altar of the Virgin Mary every day in May. Some believe that the scent of Cestrum nocturnum (Dama de Noche) at night is a sign that spirits are passing by.
