Morning Scent..jasmine and gardenia





In bloom, on my front step...
the most heavenly scent of jasmine mixed with gardenia. 
I am in search of this particular variety, a jasminum perhaps?

Or rather,
Murraya paniculata- Orange Jasmine or Jessamine, Satinwood.
I understand it to be a dwarf jasmine gardenia bush.
I plan to get to the bottom of that one.

Either way...
add the heavy Saigon heat to a flowering bush like this
and you are swept away.

On this 4th day of November 2012,
sharing morning scents from Saigon.
