have seen loads of Plumbago growing in with jasmine so I wondered if it
was that and then Tweedia sort of flitted through my mind, too.


*nod* I'm not saying it's /not/ that, though. I may have seen them
together and not looked too closely, and I can't go back and check now! But
it was a very subtle blue, so I was wondering if maybe it was caused by the
acidity of the soil perhaps, rather than being a different version. Nb,
there was no pink at all, just plain white or slightly blue.

There are "No" Blue Jasminums ie true Jasmines, but it may have been the
light blue form of Solanum laxum which used to be called Solanum
jasminoides because it looks so much like one
