๐ŸŒธโœจ Perfumed Rose Bud, but not a Rose?

๐ŸŒน Rose Bud Jasmine (Jasminum dichotomum) is a hard to find species with delightfully perfumed flowers.

๐ŸŒน Blooms year round.

๐ŸŒน Glossy leaves are very ornamental in contrast with snow white flowers and rose-pink buds (hence the name).

๐ŸŒน This vigorous woody vine can cover a fence or pagoda in just one season.

๐ŸŒน Cold tolerant, tough plant, easy to grow.

๐ŸŒต Stop! Don't touch! Just smell that magic fragrance... ๐Ÿ˜ญ

๐Ÿ’  Easter Lily Cactus (Echinopsis sp) is native to Brazil and Argentina. It is a globular cactus that produces splendid night-blooming, white fragrant flowers up to 10" long!

๐Ÿ’  Big, white or pink, fragrant blooms.

๐Ÿ’  Flowers open at night or early morning, creating a magical experience.

๐Ÿ’  Blooms last only a day or two, making each one special.

๐Ÿ’  Cool shapes: unique, spiny, ribbed bodies come in different forms and sizes.

๐Ÿ’  Easy Care: low-maintenance, very little water, lots of sunlight, and well-draining soil. Adapted to survive in harsh, dry environments, it can take both drought (obviously - cactus) and rainy seasons (like we have in Florida).

๐Ÿ’  Great for water-saving gardens and container culture.

๐Ÿ’  Many species and hybrids to collect, with a range of colors and forms.
