    Angel-face, Beautiful pristine white blooms! Where did you get the plant? I am looking for an online source for this one.

    Angel-face, flowers are gorgeous but I'd like to know what's the secret for dark green foliage?

    Flowers have 3 levels of petals. Got it from a local nursery in Mumbai, not online.
    I thought this variety always has dark green leaves.... Anyways, its a newly bought plant which came with such leaves... I haven't really done anything for that.

    My Udipi mallige has flowered. Its fragrance is different than BOI or Arabian jasmine, being more intense and with added citrus notes. Could be too strong for some. I liked the fragrance of BOI over mallige, though BOI's is not as strong, it has a better character with more pleasant notes.

    this variety had buds before, but never opened. This is the first time, they are opening.

    Radha, can u please tell me how big J. molle grows? I wish to buy one for my balcony container garden. Do you have a pic of one grown in container?

    Fragrant,
    I see that on Grand duke all the time.. I do see that even when it is not cold. I am not sure of the reason. I will keep an eye coming blooming season and will let you know..

    Angel,
    J. Molle is a vine and can grow as much as you will let it. If you want it in a container garden,then you can prune it to keep under 4-5 feet.. it is a beautiful vine and even more fragrant and beautiful flower..

    Thank Radha, I just got a new J. molle last week... It is still adjusting to its new habitat.

    I got my sambacs from Almost Eden. Almostedenplants dot com is the website. Do a search of "sambac" they have mysore muilli, belle of india, duke of tuscany etc.

    phoebe, I do have belle of india & mysore mulli that I ordered for Almost eden few years back. The pic postings above are jasmine varieties that are not named. The Jasmine belle of india we get in US is different than what angelface posted above. I am specifically looking for online sources to order those.

    Hi Kandhi. Its been about a year that I have them now. One of the plants is the famous Udipi mallige. Initially I had found its fragrance too strong, but now I'm in love with it. Its fragrance wafts a lot and fills the room. Leaves and buds are quite elongated. Sending you some recent pics.

    And the other one is known as Madan-baan mogra here. It is very floriferous and pretty with large 1.5 to 2 inch flowers. Fragrance is mild.

    This one looks like J mole, but is for sure is of the sambcs type and is likely the same posted above in the first pics of angel face... I may have received the same or similar plant from Bunty last year' which was from India also!! These photos are upside down as usual!!

    Hi fruits and veggies, sorry for replying so late, hadnt seen the question addressed to me. Got it from a nursery called Ratanshi in Mumbai.

    Angel Face, I got a surprise when I saw jasmine blooms in our home in India last month. I planted these 4 jasmine plants almost 17 years back when I was in India after that I rarely saw them bloom. This time I stayed long enough observe these Jasmines and one of the Jasmine flower looks almost same as your Jasmine plant (pictures on your June 19, 2015 posting),


    Here are the pictures



    Below are pictures of other Jasmines

    Not sure of the variety/cultivar name, Flowers from this Jasmine is little different than the flowers from above posted Jasmine and also leaves look different as well.

    This seems to be Arabian Jasmine


    I think this is Madurai Malli


    From Left to Right

    1. Not sure of the variety

    2. Arabian Jasmine

    3. Madurai Malli

    4. I think Jasmine flower similar to the one you have
