Stephanotis Vine
Madagascar jasmine
Stephanotis flowers have long been treasured for their beauty and sweet scent. The tropical twining vine, with its dark shiny foliage and snowy flowers, are a traditional element in wedding bouquets.  The Madagascar jasmine is widely cultivated for its lasting waxy white flowers and intense fragrance. The scent is strongly reminiscent of the true jasmine, hence the common name. However, these species are not at all related. Can grow up to 30 feet long and as much as 15 feet in a single season.
