I planted this jasmine hedge just outside my front door years ago, after spending a few months researching the most fragrant type of jasmine. This one is called "Maid of Orleans" and its fragrance is very sweet and pervasive. When it is in full bloom like this, breathing in the air around it is like drinking flower nectar. You can smell these flowers from 500 yards/metres away, and much further if there is a breeze.

It blooms in cycles year round, but is most wonderful during the rainy season. This is its first full bloom since the rains started, and I'm absolutely delighted!
