Winter Jasmine

seems a few members are having the same maureen early flowering, very pretty though,:o)

Thanks Sandra......It was a nice surprise even if it was pouring with rain........

Oh thats lovely you have the yellow flowering one too lucky you

Lovely .... is it fragrant?

Beautiful,mine has,nt even got one bud :(

Very pretty ;o)

Lovely Milky....they are early aren't they?

Proabably thought better put on a show before Ray hibernates ..

I think he's already gone into his hole Bonkers. He'll miss all of the winter flowers as he won't appear until at least May.

Ha dont be so sure Toto....or you Bonkers......Im sure i Shall surprise you at some point during the dark winter months.......Dawn, it does have a very slight frangrance, but not enough that you would notice it.....

Mine are in flower, as well, Milky - have been for a while! I had a surprise when I saw the first flowers opening, too.

They are such lovely plants, aren't they! :-))))

Certainly are Spritz....So bright on a gloomy day.....

Are they hardy?

YES!! Completely, Dawn... I suppose if there happened to be a frost when the flowers were out, they'd wilt after they were frosted, though. Wouldn't you say so, Milky?

Thanks Sprtiz - wonderful but oh no, another plant goes on the Wishlist. I have the pink, summer flowering one, as does Milky but not the Winter one.

These don't behave the same as the other Jasmines, Dawn - they're not climbers, more scarmbling, and you need to tie the shoots onto a trellis or wires. I've seen them clipped hard to make a hedge, too!

Oh right, thanks Spritz. How long do they flower? Sound like another 'must have' for this time of year.

Definately is Dawn........They normally flower through the winter months quite well, normally early new year onwards, but very early this year...

Just what's needed then for the Winter months, thanks Maureen

Strange, isn't it! Nice to see the flowers, though. :-))

What a wonderful splash of color this time of year, just what the doctor ordered !

Thanks Flcrazy.....its always a welcome sight although usually after Christmas.............

If you're like me you'll take it anytime we can get it , and usually the sooner the better..., I'm not very patient in my old age...lol

Ha ha ha .....Now thats just what Ray says about me Flcrazy...... :>).

Very early flowering this year. One in the garden two doors up is flowerirng.

Yes Lindak, they do seem to be early all around the country......Nice to see though......
