Sampangi-flower-garland ( Sampangi is Tamil for tuberose not to be confused with shenbagam )

We need sampangi ( sugantha roja also in Tamil ) , tuberose in English and a  ball of thread. Since the flower is long and slender we cannot tie on opposite sides and so we can tie only on one side.
So the bottom of the flowers are tied together.  

It is rajni gandha in Hindi.
These are beautiful , fragrant flowers with a long funnel like structure. 
This method gives a plait like appearance to the knots.
