Actually, I do not like this plant for my yard. It looks fantastic for such a short time. Unfortunately, the open blooms turn brown before the rest open and it ruins it!

Your pics are great! I've had my Jasmine for three years now and I hate the dying "brown blooms" that don't seem to want to depart. I almost threw it out last year after it bloomed. The year before, I left it out (container) in a snow snorm and freeze (Zn8 Texas) but it just keeps coming back. It's the best "bloomin' thing" on my balcony. It's earning its keep. :) Is there a way to encourage it to bloom again this year? It's never bloomed twice in one year, and I've never "fed" it.

As far as I know it only will bloom in the spring. I had one for about 5 years here and it put on its show only once a year. It is a beautiful vine though isn't it? Too bad the old blooms do not fall off fast.
