Yellow is what gives a quilt some " Zing" I was told some years ago, when my fabrics were a bit bland!!! Your jasmine surely zings up your garden so well. Beautiful place to grow.

I believe it! It is pretty! Yellow blossoms are so cheerful and bright! Mama loved the yellow daffodils.

I've never seen this type of Jasmine before; most of our plants are dead. Of course, I have one coleus and four Orchids. Stay warm.
Hugs,

What a nice bit of color that isn't white on a weekend where that is the color posted on blogs of folks living on the East Coast.

I wish there was something blooming around here. I just have to wait awhile before that happens. Oh well. Everyone needs a winter if they are going to have a spring.

How lovely! I am dreaming of ANYTHING blooming this time of year. Sadly, nothing blooms outside in January in Michigan. But we keep inching closer to Spring every day :)
