Star Jasmine Ground Cover Photo

(Seminole, FL)

While a friend and I were taking a walk through a neighborhood and beautiful scent touched our senses. I knew what it was instantly. It was that of a Star Jasmine vine. Normally the jasmine is grown on fences, walls and trellises. But this one was being used as ground cover. The perfume emitted from the star jasmine is so pleasing and relaxing its hard to describe. Soft, sweet and additive is how I would describe it. There were thousands of fragrant flowers open and hundreds of bees flying around and landing on the five petal flowers.
