FFF25 - THE SWEET-SCENTED JASMINE

Jasminum, commonly known as jasmines, is a genus of shrubs and vines in the olive family (Oleaceae). It contains around 200 species native to tropical and warm temperate regions of the Old World. Jasmines are widely cultivated for the characteristic fragrance of their flowers.

Jasminum angulare (Wild Jasmine) is a species of jasmine that is indigenous to South Africa. This scrambling climber can be grown in the sun or semi-shade. It produces masses of white, scented, star-shaped flowers and it attracts a variety of birds. This is one of around 10 species of Jasmine that naturally occur in South Africa.

  6. I am not familiar with this species, but am with others. They are all scented but also vary. Our national flower, Jasminum sambac, is sweet smelling and not heavy as other jasmines.

    Maybe it's essential oils from the wild Jasmin we can buy here at home.
