Confederate Jasmine flowers, garden, Roscoe 2

These are tiny flowers but have a powerful scent. When they are in full bloom I think of the Van Gogh painting Starry Night, as the leaves are a dark bluish green. I also think of Don McLean's song.

Confederate Jasmine buds, Garden, Roscoe

We are about to have an annual explosion here on Roscoe. In April the Confederate Jasmine vine bursts into bloom and perfumes the air all around it with a lovely light scent, at the same time the gardenias are about to pop and add their heavier scent to the mix. It adds another sense in the yard.
