Yellow Sulphur on jasmine


Just as I was considering snatching off this jasmine shrub it came to life with tons of flowers and a delicate fragrance that engulfs the house's entryway (yup, that's right, engulfs).

Turns out that this little shrub who asks absolutely nothing of me (I have never ever watered it) is a favorite amongst all butterflies! I always thought that brightly colored flowers were prime rib to pollinators, well, turns out the white pentas & the jasmines are just as attractive to all the frequent fliers who visit our yard. I was at Lowes two days ago and they still have this jasmine available.

It is also nice to have a reliable bloomer when other flowers take a nap.

PS: sorry, too lazy to look up the name of this variety...but just look for the ones with eight white petals :)
