Tulsi / General
Once Sita ji invited Hanuman for a lunch and especially which was cooked by her. Sita ji made many delicacies for the lunch, which was to be attended by Hanuman. Hanuman ji came and started eating the food served to him. He ate the whole food which was made in the kitchen .Sita ji quickly made more delicacies in order to satisfy the hunger of Hanuman. Hanuman ate that too and asked for more. Again, Sita ji cooked some more food and again it got finished in seconds.
The condition was that nothing was left in the kitchen to cook. Sita ji got tensed and thought to ask lord Rama about the situation. She conveyed the whole scene to Rama. Rama asked Sita ji to give a Tulsi-dal (a leaf of Tulsi) to Hanuman and her problem would be solved. Sita ji did the same and Hanuman's appetite got satisfied.

Flowers Offered to Sri Hanuman
The story goes that when Sri Hanuman conveyed the message from Sri Rama, Sita Devi garlanded Sri Hanuman with a betel vine as a token of Her joy and appreciation, as she could not find any flowers nearby. Betel leaves should be made into a garland with a piece of arecanut in each leaf.
Jasmine
Anjaneya may be worshipped with jasmine flowers or tulsi on Thursdays.
Parijaatam
It is believed that Sri Hanuman prefers to frequent places where this beautiful and fragrant flower abounds.
Tulsi
Tulsi, ocimum sanctum, is a herb extensively used for worship in temples and homes. Also called Holy Basil and Hoary Basil it has several medicinal properties. Tulsi is used in temples dedicated to Lord Krishna, Sri Rama, and Sri Hanuman.
Lotus
Lotus is dear to Sri Rama. In the only temple dedicated to Bharatha, the younger brother of Sri Rama, in Irinjalakuda in Kerala too, garlands made of lotus are used. Sri Rama had equal affection for his brother Bharatha and Sri Hanuman. Lotus is also used for worship in Vishnu temples. Lord Krishna is also called the lotus eyed (Pankajaaksh).
The petals of lotus symbolise ripples on water surface representing action based on knowledge. When viewed from above, its petals would resemble the small ripples caused by throwing a stone into water. It also suggests that like lotus grown in slush, representing the mundane world, the human soul has to evolve into its eternal relation with God.

Hanuman Gita / Story Behind
https://www.google.com/search?q=Hanuman+Gita
Lord Krishna as Parthasarathy, was explaining the Geetha in details to Arjuna who was in lot of doubts and at the end Arjuna said his illusions are gone now...
"Nashto Moha: smruthirlabdhwa twat Prasadan Maya Achyutha........" and that he is able to see the realities. Arjuna fell on Krishna's Lotus Feet in total surrender to Him. Suddenly there appeared Hanumanji with folded hands and said that his illusions are also gone.
Lord Krishna enquired what he did for that. Hanumanji said that he heard the whole Geetha from the Lord while He narrated it to Arjuna. Krishna asked where he was sitting and Hanumanji said that he was on the Flag of the Chariot.
Lord Krishna said .."Hanumanji, you have committed two crimes unintentionally . One, without my knowledge you heard Geetha and secondly, you were sitting at a higher elevation than Me which is not acceptable by Shastras. Hence you will get Paisacha (Ghost) Status." Hanumanji was on tears and he fell on Krishna's feet and said " Pardon me my Lord. Show mercy on me and tell me how to get out of this Paisacha Body. My Lord, I was a loyal Bhaktha of Lord Sree Ram in the previous Yuga and hence please show mercy on me. Where ever Hari Katha is conducted, I reach there without fail and chant Hari Sankeerthanams myself all the times,hence my Lord please show mercy on me. I know I have committed crimes and deserve to be punished but my Lord please show me how to get out of this Paisacha body." Lord Krishna was very happy to listen to Hanumanji and He said " Hanumanji, I know you are a loyal Vishnu Bhaktha and does not deserve any punishment. But a curse can not be revoked even by Me and so the curse shall stay. But I advise you to go to Kashi and write Bhashyams (Commentaries) on the Bhagavat Geetha you listened from Me and you will get rid of his Paisacha Body when you complete that Bhashyam." HANUMANJI happily went to Kashi and wrote the Bhashyams for Geetha which is known as the "Hanumat-krit Paisacha Bhashyam" and obtained back his divine body. We do not know whether anybody could put his hands on Hanumanji's Geetha Bhashyams, but one thing is sure that Hanumanji got relief from his Paisacha thoughts and deeds by chanting the Hari Gathas.
We are also affected by such thoughts and deeds in our worldly life and hence the only way open to us, is to chant the Hari Namams all the times so that these demonic activities dont come near to us.
