The white flower buds may look like sampaguita but they’re really another variety of jasmine.
It started drizzling after lunch and it looked like a heavy downpour was about to follow. I was closing the bedroom windows when I noticed the branch of this jasmine plant perfectly framed by the window grills.
There is a row of jasmine plants just outside our bedroom window. I have a lot of photos of them but these are my favorites.

Ok, never mind the geek talk, I'm sure you're not interested in that. The contents easily multiplied and, in 2004, I moved the food site to … »
They really look like Sampaguitas. Its nice to have flowers pag open mp ng window. Looks very relaxing
Yes, very similar in appearance but this variety of jasmine has no distinct fragrance.
