Sounds like Gelsemium sempervirens, which goes by a number of common
names, including Carolina Yellow-Jessamine, Carolina jasmine, etc., and
a newly created name (from the USDA PLANTS database) evening
trumpetflower. They have a wonderful rich, spicy scent. One of our most
outstanding native vines.
Here's a photo I took a few days ago:

Anyone know what these are?
