Jeumpa Flower

Introducing this flower, the name is jeumpa flower, a flower from Aceh and is a characteristic of Aceh itself. If you come to Aceh, you should not miss this one flower. Because the jeumpa flower is the most inktik flower with the Aceh region and cannot be separated. Even all Acehnese can certainly sing a song about the jeumpa flower.

The tree is tall with a number of branches that point in all directions, the leaves are green with quite a number of flowers from each stem. The jeumpa flower itself as I know has two colors, namely white and yellow. With the same shape and have the same fragrance or fragrance with its own characteristics that are different from other flowers.

The fragrance of jeumpa flowers is extraordinary even from a distance. Many people put it in their shirt or pants pocket to make their clothes smell good. In the past, our parents took a lot of this flower and then applied it to hair oil so that the sign when used the oil would make the hair fragrant, this is widely used by small children or toddlers, so that children always smell good with jeumpa flowers.

As for adult women, especially those who are about to get married, jeumpa flowers are widely used as headdresses which are shaped with very beautiful carvings. This flower is very widely used at weddings. Even the Acehnese girls themselves are nicknamed "Jeumpa Girls" this is because women are identical to flowers and jeumpa flowers are flowers that are identical to Aceh. So that the beauty and fragrance of this jeumpa flower is then compared to the Acehnese girl herself.

I don't know if this flower is called elsewhere, or I also don't know if this flower is also found in other areas. If in Aceh itself jeumpa flowers are very easy to find, because many Acehnese plant them in front of their homes. Of course, this also has a purpose when the flowers bloom, the entire residential area will smell the fragrance produced by the fragrance of jeumpa flowers. In the end jeumpa flowers will also be the same as other flowers, there is a time to grow, bloom, smell good, then wither and fall in the wind and finally fall to the earth.

Thank You....
