What an incredible blossom. I am not at all familiar with this plant, but it sounds like one I would like to get to know better.

In Hawaii we call the Jasmine flowers Pikake. Whatever they are called, they smell lovely.

It is very difficult to take good photos of white flowers. You will find you get much better results if you film them in early morning or late evening light - and don't use flash!
