Definitely not jasmine. There's no indication at all of the five regular
petals of the jasmine flower, the leaves are simple and don't have
leaflets like the jasmine.


One of the honeysuckles is far more likely. Not all of them have
noticeable scent.


Well I think its J beesianum!


Quite right too! Not all Jasmines have leaves divided into leaflets
and you wouldn't see the 5 typical petals because those flowers in the
pic have yet to open fully. In Lonicera, the pedicels are typically
very short, tight into the leaf base with the calyx reduced to very
short triangular bracts. In Jasminum, the pedicel is elongated and
the calyx is significantly more developed as in the pic.
