Wordless Wednesday
Burning question. I bought this plant a few years ago. You know how some nurseries and garden centers don’t always have specific labels on their plants? Well this was marked as being a jasmine and as best as I can tell after looking at several varieties I think it’s Jasmine Sambac. Still I’ve never been fully sure.
Is this even a jasmine? It blooms day or night and the flowers last at least 24 hours unlike many of the other jasmines that I’ve owned in the past which have only bloomed at night time. The flowers are fragrant, but the scent doesn’t waft. You must get up close to smell it’s beautiful scent.
Here’s what the flowers look like on the plant:
Can you help me figure it out?
Doesn’t look like a jasmine flower unless its some kind of variety. Not 100% sure, though.
I’m not sure–but it is beautiful!!
It looks a little like a gardenia jasminoides ‘prostrata”. You need to offer some scale. In my reference of flowers by color it appears to be the closest match. Fun query though it was nice to have an excuse to pull out a book and purouse flower. Thanks for the beauty.
I’m afraid I don’t even know the name of the flower in my picture! Sorry 😉
I’m not sure what it is, but it is certainly beautiful. =o)
That looks and sounds ike a a gardenia to me. People often call them “jasmine”
Thats really beautiful, but i guess i am better off as an admirer 🙂
