🌞 French Perfume Jasmine, or Poets jasmine (Jasminum officinale) is the most popular jasmine in the world as it is the source of the original Jasmine essential oil.
🌞 There are two varieties - with single flower (Jasminum x grandiflorum - it has larger size flower and is more rare) and double flower ( Jasminum officinale Flore Pleno). They are very hard to tell apart when not in bloom as the leaves look the same, but the flowers differ (see video).
🌞 Essential oil of this jasmine is one of the most important components in perfumery.
🌞 Grown in the perfume fields of Southern France.
🌞 Semi-evergreen to deciduous vine with lots of fragrant white flowers in spring, summer, and fall.
🌞 Drought tolerant and hardy, it has good tolerance to a wide range of temperatures and is easily maintained in pots.
🌞 Jasmine associates nicely with climbing roses, honeysuckle or clematis, but it looks superb grown on its own.

- 💮 #Fun_Facts: Magnolia grandiflora - Southern Magnolia, is a unique and ancient flowering plant dating back about 95 million years to the time of the dinosaurs!
💮 Its beautiful, large perfumed flowers are "primitive" and evolved before bees existed, relying on beetles for pollination. The tough petals and reproductive parts are a result of adapting to beetle activity.
💮 Another fascinating feature is its cone-like fruit, which contains striking bright red seeds. These seeds are covered in a fleshy coating that attracts birds and small mammals, aiding in their dispersal, making the magnolia not only stunning but important for the ecosystem.
