I'm Looking for Jasmine!
Look in catalogs from the lower South for your Sambac. It used to be
considered almost a weed here. Locally (New Orleans) two varieties seem to be
available: one called Joan of Arc and another (which I have) called Grand Duke
of Tuscany, which produces intensely fragrant little flowers so crowded with
petals they look more like a cauliflower than a cabbage rose. It's a tender
tropical--a few hours of freeze almost killed it last winter.
