My Fair Oaks California yard smells great!

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Gold, Fair Oaks

Our yard smells so good!star jasmine

We have star jasmine growing all along the back side of our laundry room, and it has begun to grow over our pergola as well (competing with the grapevines that have always covered the pergola).

They have such a sweet and happy fragrance!  And we can smell it in the back yard of course, but we also smell it in the house and in the front yard.

star jasmineI wish it would bloom all year, but I guess that's asking too much of a good thing.

We had such late cold weather this year that many of our flowers didn't quite know what to do.  Our azaleas bloomed and were gone before the rest of our plants even realized it was time to bloom. 

But our patio is now full of flowers in pinks, purples, peaches, and reds now, and then there is our wonderful wall of jasmine.  Yum!

This year was weird.  The jacaranda are very late.  There is nothing like jasmine.  Is night blooming jasmine different, because that smell is amazing.

Jane - The smell is the same, but these blooms stay open all day.

Enjoy the smell while it lasts. A great reminder how wonderful some of the smaller things in our lives actually are.

Hi Susan, 

I found a version of this plant family that I really love. It is the Stephanotis plant and blooms in the early summer. The fragrance is actually even more vibrant. The flowers are stunning.  I tried to upload a photo for you but get "Error messages". I understand the attraction to the Jasmine.

Diane, Well said!  Trouble is - the fragrance is so nice that I hate to leave home.  Can't do business like that, so out I go.

Susan, Aren't plants just wonderful.  Interesting how some give off such wonderful smells while others just look beautiful.  Enjoy.

Susan, the smell of jasmine blooming takes me right back to my childhood. The photos are beautiful ~ now if we could just have 'smell' when photos come up on the internet. I'm sure someone's working on it, right? lol

Hi All - I started off the day in a great mood, then got hit from all sides with deals starting to fall apart.  I sat down to try to deal with it all in my home office, and after a few minutes, I decided to take my phone out to the patio to make the calls. 

That wonderful fragrance wafted over me and I calmed right down, and I think I have put out the fires - at least temporarily. Thank you, jasmine.

Susan, I have a 10' wall of Jasmine on one end of my backyard.  A friend is using my swimming pool to help her heal from an accident and constantly tells me how much she enjoys the Jasmine smell

Glad you were able to put out the fires!

I'm smelling your star jasmine all the way down here. Our neighbor has a yard full of it, so that allows us to plant other things in our yard. LOL
