South Carolina State Flower: Yellow Jessamine

South Carolina State Flower Coloring

Yellow Jessamine (which some people shorten to Jasmine, but that's not really correct) is the State Flower of South Carolina. I have only been to Charleston, South Carolina once, but fell in love with it. The people, the historic mansions, the welcoming spirit, the food, everything but the humidity. Charleston is absolutely beautiful and the people there are some of the friendliest I've ever met. It's just a lovely city. 

From December through March when it blooms, you can smell the soft fragrance of the Yellow Jessamine everywhere, as it is used extensively as a ground cover and on trellises in all the gardens. As its name suggests, color it Yellow, a bright Sunlight Yellow. Too bad you can't smell its fragrance. It's lovely and used in many perfumes.
