Very nice flower with excellent fragrance ( I know )! I am curious to know that how many gardeners never smell this flower?
I have many fragrant plants except this one. This rose form flower is not easy to find. Other cultivars are single and one with over-loaded petals. They are not easy to grow and to keep either. For the fragrance, I need to order a few. I have to learn how to grow and to manage this wonderful fragrant plant. |

Snasxs,
Very pretty flower. I do have all varieties not this one. Hope someone can identify this. I am pretty good in propagating jasmines, can you spare a stem cutting? I live in vienna, Nothern Virginia. Not sure any nureries have this one,if you know can you let me know if there are any nuresries that have this plant. |

| Hi snasxs, The paired leaves and double flowers seem to indicate it is the 'Hawaiian' pikake (Mysore Mulli), a variety of jasminum sambac. Grand Duke of Tuscany is another guess but I don't think it is Grand Duke because the 'duke' has triple leaves. tropical |

| Dear Tropical, I have Hawaiian Pikake. This Jasmine is clearly NOT that cultivar. Obviously, it is not Grand Duke either. Look carefully! |

| Hi snasxs, If it's not the Hawaiian pikake and not the Grand duke either, then it must be some new jasmine hybrid... Probably a hybrid of Hawaiian pikake x Grand duke... :) Or it is probably a 'sport' of Hawaiian pikake... In that case, you get to name it! (or whoever had it originally). tropical |

| Well, there could be strains and types that are evolved and/or selected separately in different parts of the world! See, a platypus is neither a duck (duke), nor is it a beaver (pikake)! Lol! |
