RE: name?

This is just a wild guess, but it reminds me of my stephanotis plant (madagascar jasmine). I miss that plant that didn't survive the move.

Sensa,
Please go to link below.
Look at the picture of Jasminum Officinale on the jasmine page.
Looks exactly like yours.

Here is a link that might be useful: Jasminum officinale

There is, or used to be, an article on the website of an often-disparaged nursery whose initials are TT, about many jasminum plants being self-incompatible because the plants come in two forms: pin, where the style projects out from the corolla or flower tube, and thrum, where the style is hidden inside the corolla. To set seed, you need one form to pollinate another.

This is the only reference I've seen to this morphology in jasminums, but it could explain why these flowers have the style down inside.

That being said, your first picture looks to me like j. azoricum, which is rather variable in number of petals and has foliage like yours.

Your second pic looks like a j. sambac variety, but which cultivar is impossible to say until the buds open.

Sorry for the complication, jasmine nomenclature and ID is a reyall biyatch!

Jim
