I just bought two jasmine plants. I got one about a week and a half ago,
marked "Jasmine sambec", and it has little white buds all over it. One tiny
flower was blooming (it smelled so good!) when I bought it but none of the
rest have bloomed yet, which made me wonder if there was something wrong
with mine too. The buds look OK but they're just kind of sitting there and
not doing anything.  
My other jasmine was marked "orange jasmine". It's teeny, not much more than
a cutting, about six inches high, and it doesn't look very vine-like. I
couldn't find a listing for this plant online. Does anyone know what the
flowers will look like?

I've had a few little fruit fly like things buzzing around my plants. They
sound, from the list discussion, like they might be fungus gnats. Will
gravel trays encourage these critters?

The gnats don't seem to care about the plants really, they just buzz around
in the vicinity and sit on the soil, which is why I think they're fungus
gnats. I mostly see them when I water. But they're kind of icky, especially
because most of my plants are on shelves over my sink!
