I got this in the Spring and this is the heaviest it has bloomed so far. The flowers open at night and only last a day but it produces new flowers every month.

That's beautiful ~ I was going to ask the same question Crissue! Looks as if it is.

Yes, definitely scented! It smells just like a perfume. It's fragrance is much different than my Jasmine vine but both are nice.

I have been very happy with it, it was sent for me in a plant trade from a woman in Maryland (she gave me some very nice plants!). Jasminum polyanthum is also a nice one (as a house plant, I can't grow it outdoors here). The flowers have a very nice fragrance and blooms a couple times a year. It forms flower buds after a couple weeks in 40-60F temperatures.

Ah yes, i recognise Jasminum polyanthum ~ have had a couple of those, usually in the unheated porch and have tried them outside after that but I dont think they survived the winter!!

I have no idea how tender they are outside, how cold do winters get there?

the last 2 years have been bad ~ often below -10 in december, january and febuary with ice and snow!!

Is that -10 celsius? That is pretty cold either way and it always seems worse with snow and ice! We usually see temps as low as -15 and occasionally -20F. I wish it wouldn't get so cold here, I lost a Chinese redbud last year and had it in the most protected spot I could find. It was still flattened by the cold and I even wrapped it in burlap.

Yes thats centigrade! I had some things wrapped in garden fleece!
