My love affair with jasmines

The intense fragrance of the Jasmine Sambac is intoxicating. I kept a quart-sized pot indoor because of the Maryland winter. Unfortunately, the indoor environment was not to its liking and it died. Undeterred, I bought another pot because its fragrance had so enchanted me. Despite my care, it also died. Lesson learned: no more Jasmine Sambac for me

Meanwhile, I had planted a White Jasmine. It flourished and, in time, got out of control extending into my lily patch. A hard prune solved the problem.

Update: September 30, 2020

In an effort to downsize my garden and make it more manageable, I removed the White Jasmine several years ago.
