Nope. ;-)

Hmm
This is what I found:
CONFEDERATE JASMINE

Confederate jasmine or star jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) is
highly prized for its heavily scented clusters of phlox-like flowers,
which bloom on twining stems in spring and summer. It is hardy in
Central and Coastal South Carolina, but tender in the Piedmont.

But it seems that this is also called Star Jasmine:

I used to think they were the same also until I started googling some
plants available at local nurseries this spring. I'd been calling what I
had "star jasmine" but it has the tiny little twisted looking blossoms.
Sweet scent.

One of the nurseries had both star and confederate jasmine listed and my
flowers matched their picture of confederate. The foliage and growth
patterns of both appear to be similar.

'zactly. ;-)

I think it's kinda the same thing as the varieties of "mexican oregano".
lol

Mine looks just like this:

http://almostedenplants.com/mall/wpe6F.jpg

I almost regret planting the stuff! It's very tough and invasive, and
very VERY difficult to pull out and thin! I pay Linda well to do it for
me...

I just went out and looked at mine, (it grows on my front fence) and
it's fixin' to bloom it's head off as usual. There is quite a bit trying
to invade the driveway. I may yank it and put it in some pots and see if
I can get it going well in some pots, then take it and trade it for
other plants.

There are a couple of nurseries around that will do 2 for 1 trades with
me for healthy propagates of some plants.

Anyone need any rosemary??????
It needs thinning too! ;-)
