My Jasminum sambac 'Maid of Orleans' is an old friend that woke me up the day before yesterday with a wave of fragrance, which is probably why I just noticed this thread... I whack it back when it gets out of line and usually pot up some of the cuttings. I don't think I have the original plant anymore -- the pots came in from "summer vacation" last month and are just starting their first round of in-house blooms... I'm not sure how the "fragrance waves" work, but they do. Of course you can go right up and sniff the blossoms, but then there are the times like day before yesterday when it practically shouts that it is there, and in bloom!
