Origin
The West Indies
Bloom season
Warm nights
Colors
cream, green-white
Habitat

Symbolism
A secret kept until night

Thin, green-white tubes that look like nothing by day and pour scent after dusk from a lanky shrub.

Care. Give sun or bright shade and a trim; all parts are toxic if eaten.

A note. It is not a true jasmine; the night scent is why the wrong name stuck.

Or perhaps

  • Magnolia — 6%
  • Honeysuckle — 5%
