This one seems to have a lot of names: Crape Jasmine, Crepe Jasmine, Pinwheel flower, Coffee rose, Paper gardenia, Spiral gardenia... :-) In other words - Tabernaemontana divaricata ... Anyone want to second this? :-)

Thanks for all your input everyone! :-) @ Susan: No, they seem to have no fragrance. @ Ashish: Thanks for that ID! Could it be Tabernaemontana divaricata - Pinwheelflower....?

Jasmines are mostly Vine plants... not shrubs... This is Shrub plant...!!

We have Jasmine in Florida, but it may not be called Jasmine in the Phillipines. This looks like what we call Confederate Jasmine (trachelospermum jasminoides)

Not Jasmine... Alice its Originated from West Indies.....!!
