Ornamental Grasses. Take notice of the small yellow flowers on the plant close to the wall. This is our winter jasmine,
Jasiminum nudiflorum, and it has been blooming for several months. The
Jasminum nudiflorum Fact Sheet describes this plant as having a fountain of arching, willowy stems. It is certainly has a bright, cheery presence in this border.
