Lawsonia inermis

#Henna is best known as a plant-based #dye , used as a temporary tattoo some cultures. I've grown this henna from a #cutting .. the flowers are very #fragrant, here's a #closeup ... in India, henna is used by North Indians to paint the hands of the wedding party. The name of the groom is hidden in the design pattern on the bride's palm, followed by a silly game of "spot the name" .. #NewonGT #fragrant

Yes, the leaves are used to produce henna, Deborah 😊 but I don't know the exact process @latebloomer

Interesting to put products to plant names! Quite a lovely flower. Do you know which part of the plant the dye originates from?

Doh! 🙄 Just read your later comment, and seen its from the leaves.

Haha that's okay, @richard.spicer.7906 !
