Madagascar jasmine
Stephanotis floribunda
Also called Stephanotis, Bridal wreath and Floradora
Houseplant · FloweringSold trained round a wire hoop, and the hoop is not decoration — this twines and will take a curtain rail if you let it. It sets buds only after a cool dry winter around 13°C, and it drops every one of them if you move the pot while they are forming.
