The Jasmine Secret is a 'ball' made from green tea, Jasmine flower and Chrysanthemum flower which is unlocked with a simple key - boiled water.
Its flowering transformation was most spectacular to watch and best done in a transparent glass pot as per the instructions (and not through the 15 pieces of lens glass and viewfinder of the camera! hehe)
To be honest, the photos definitely did not turn out as well as I had hoped. How to meter, expose and focus through a glass bowl was a lesson well learnt.
ps. Thanks to Mimi for sharing this Secret with me. It is much appreciated! :)
Thanks for the nice comments Mimi. I'm glad that you like the photos. They wouldn't have been here without your generosity! :)

Wow! Your photos are spectacular and for a moment there it took my breath away.
You've certainly captured the beauty of this transformation and executed these shots better than I could've ever imagined. My favourite shot is the blossomed Chrysanthemum in the glass bowl.
Thank you Chih ;)
