Night blooming Jasmine

[Dianne Norma]

Why dosen't my Night Blooming Jasmine smell?

Personally (and i'm a gardener), i've never heard of night flowering jasmine. If you could provide us with some extra info such as latin name if poss, colour of flowers and any other thing you can think of, it might help a bit

I'm not being funny but it could be because the season has ended.

My neighbour has a vast hedge of this shrub and truthfully I'm quite glad it's finished as the smell at first is gorgeous, but can be too overpowering if you want to sit in the garden for an evening.

Do you mean Honeysuckle? I'm confused!

[Cetti]

I hope we're talking about the same thing. I've just looked it up and the latin name is Jasminum (J.officinale Grandiflorum).  Next door's has small white flowers and the book says this blooms between July and September.

There is also a Jasmine houseplant.....

Sorry I was barking up the wrong tree there, with Honeysuckle. Complete barking mad!

Honeysuckle has a  lovely perfume but I'm not sure it's as potent as the Jasmine - but you could be right.

I know it doesn't answer your question but a google search for "cestrum nocturnum" might produce some results.
