January Jasmine?

20 years ago

Another plant I received at the swap was labeled "January Jasmine". I am unsure if what I have is Jasminum nudiflorum or Lonicera fragrantissima, as both share that common name and flower at roughly the same time. The difference (other than not being related!) is that the Jasminum does not have a fragrance, while the Lonicera definitely does.

The giver was one of the group of ladies at the back, behind the food tables.

Winter jasmine looks more like forsythia both in flower and growth habit. I *think* those nice ladies were trading the winter jasmine.

I have Lonicera fragrantissima and its leaves are much larger than the jasmine, rounded oval, maybe 1.5-2 inches long. I have a jasmine that I call winter jasmine that blooms small yellow blossoms in Jan-Feb. Its leaves are very small, slender, maybe 1/2 inch long and its stems are not stiff, but very flexible and it will take root wherever it touches the ground.
