I found this Jasmine in the street with a sign that said "Jasmine small white flowers." It's doing pretty well, but I'd like to know what kind it is exactly so I can best take care of it. I'm also confused because online it says that Jasmines are vines/shrubs, but this seems to be a shrub with vine-like limbs and I've never seen that before. I never saw the flowers.

The other picture I saved from weeding because I thought it was some aspen species sapling, but I don't even know if it's a tree.

The 2nd and 3rd are possibly Trachelospermum Jasminoides.

Thank you! I still have been unable to figure out what species it is exactly. But if it is Trachelospermum Jasminoides, the distinct white flowers should give it away when it decides to flower.

The plant looks like one that I have grown in the past which bloomed abundantly during the spring here. One hot summer it succumbed from the heat @ 122 degrees temp during the summer.
I have another that is growing as ground cover. It is a variegate with red tinted leaves. It has been there about 6years now but I never see a single flower on it.
Wait just minute now, this flowering failure could be due to the fact that my gardening companion and myself never seem to be in synch with the ideal location. She was moving it to a different part of the garden that is more preferable to her liking.
