Pink Jasmine

The garden has been very fregrant this week due to two large Pink Jasmines.
This first one we thought was dead but it hitched a ride on its cousin the Star Jasmine and went right up a tree as we wanted it to.

This picture might look a little odd but this patch of Pnk Jasmine is 40 feet off the ground and it is the best I can do with the limited zoom lens I have.

In this one very close in the garden we had intended to do the same thing but the Pink Jasmine had a mind of its own and decided to ignore the tree and totally invest the adjacent rose bush. This particular bush is almost like a tree being that it is fully ten by ten with canes reaching the second story (more on this rose at a later date).

You can see the tree we had intended it to go up on the right and behind it gutter for my house. This is not a trick photo it really is that large.





Before it blooms the Pink Jasmine looks pink, hence its name. Once it is fully in bloom however it is white as you can see below. It smells great also which is why I bought it.
