Field Notes

Description:

A bush of 1 meter high. It has big white flowers. They seem to come by 3 or 4 but do not all open at once. Once one died the other one opens up. They do not seem to live long. They smell spicy and delicious.

Habitat:

Thailand

Notes:

I know this is a Jasmin kind, but want to know what kind exactly.

I just checked the link also but they do seem to have thicker petals. Does it help to say that the flowers smell like cloves, and that it produced 2 different kind of flowers!!! I only noticed it once and did not take a picture of the other flower but it looked like this http://www.coolchaser.us/l/keywords/samoan%20gardenia They call that flower the samoan Gardenia Transparent. Both those flowers on one bush....is that normal?
