Jessamine?


"All night have the roses heard The flute, violin, bassoon;
All night has the casement jessamine stirr'd to the dancers dancing in tune;
Till a silence fell with the waking bird,
And a hush with the setting moon."
~Alfred, Lord Tennyson



In case you were wondering...
Yellow jessamine is a high-climbing, woody vine that is known by several names, including Carolina jessamine, poor man's rope, or yellow jasmin. It has also been referred to as The Pride of Augusta, because it is found abundantly near Augusta, Georgia. One of the most notable characteristics of the plant is the fragrant flowers that send a sweet, prevailing scent through the wintery woods.
