This is a Carolina Jessamine vine. If you happen to live in South Carolina, this would be the answer to the trivial question, "What is your state flower?" If you have a child, the question instead is, "Do you know one petal of Carolina Jessamine is lethal?" Yep...go run and google it. Believe me, it's a shock! Garden centers all over the country sell this fragrant vine in early spring. It's real pretty and has a great fragrance. I decided our son was more valuable and ripped our jessamine out. I suggest, if you have a toddler or a pet, that you do the same.
Don't worry, there's many more non-toxic fragrant vines to choose from. This is all part of my book...Flower Child, The Art of Creating a Child Friendly Garden...
