Jasminum nudiflorum.

Another stunning plant that caught my eye - one which I am rather more familiar with - is jasmine. One sadly died in the family garden a year ago, and so I greatly desire to improve my understanding of them.

Jasminum nudiflorum, "Winter Jasmine".
(Woody climbing shrub or vine.)

Planting: Autumn or winter.
Flowering: Winter.
Aspect: All except dense shade.
Hardiness: Frost hardy.

Notes: Its name is derived from the Persian word 'Yasameen' ("gift from God"), through Arabic and Latin.
