>Angel Wing is probably my least favorite - the fragrance is not very good
to my nose. It grows more slowly than the others and I have only had to
prune it once or twice. Arabian Jasmine also grows more slowly - it really
likes the heat and blooms best mid-summer. Spanish Jasmine has been in the
ground for four years and there has not yet been a day without at least a
few flowers open even in mid-winter. It is fairly vigorous after a slow
first year or two. Pink and Poet's Jasmine are the most vigorous - I do a
little pruning every month or so to keep them from taking over.

Woo HOO ! Your post is "so logical, Mr. Spock" - I'm envious because of
the few words it took to share a *lot* of pertinent information : plant
material location, both types of name, culture data ..... Dan, are you a
professional horticulturist ? writer ? I'm not going to ask for more free
information - just curious ;- )
