Asked on May 10, 2012
Does anyone know what this is?

I know these photos are not great, but all I had on me was my cell phone. This was growing at a client's yard and we noticed it blooming in a very shady corner near their house. I am struggling to identify it. I took these photos on May 3, 2012.
It reminds me of Winter Jasmine (Jasminum nudiflorum) based on the leaves and similar shape of the flowers, but the flowers are appearing on the ends, not along the stems like Winter Jasmine. It is also not the season for winter jasmine. Thanks for the help.

Lisa C. spring perennials are divided in the fall. And fall perennials should be moved in the spring.

Does it have a fragrance? Night blooming Jasmine has yellow flowers and a different smell from the others.

Looks like my star jasmine. It can be white or yellow and has a great aroma. Will spread and comes back every year.

The foliage is reminiscent of Vinca Minor, a shade-loving evergreen ground cover, but the blooms should be lavender in color. So....I don't know.

Carolina Jessamine love full sun and grow very large. They can cover a telephone pole in just a few years if left unpruned.

It is not Carolina jessamine, the leaves are completely different. I looked at Star Jasmine as well, but the leaves are still completely different. Also, this is not on the ground, but was growing all over a fence. At least I am not the only one that is struggling to identify it.

It has trifoliate leaves...so it is not Carolina Jasmine...looks more like Jasminum fruticans ( Yellow Jasmine)

This looks exactly like "Periwinkle" to me. Most often it's flower is lavender & I have had a white one - but have never seen a yellow one. It loves the shade and flowers in the spring.

the suspense is killing me! I'm with those who liken it to vinca but also have never seen yellow.

This is not VInca. I agree with those that posted above, beginning with Les, that it is Yellow Jasmine. I have never seen it before, but it is an attractive plant.

Upon further discussion with my uncle that was with me when we first saw the shrub, he did some further checking in one of his books, and we believe it is actually Jasminum floridum, Les got it close enough to find the exact match. Thanks Les.

This is a photo of Carolina Jasmine. This particular jasmine is 5 years old. The flowers are a bit different from yours, these are a pale yellow, not the vibrant yellow that yours are. I'm sure you have a jasmine, but it isn't Carolina Jasmine

PS: I agree, jasmine grows really fast. I planted 3 Carolina Jasmine plants on my fence 5 years ago and it is now completely covered, making a wonderful sweet smelling barrier

This looks like the Carolina Jasmine I have planted beside my swing-arbor --It is a vine and has completely climbed over the top and has the most amazing aroma like no other flower -- beautiful bright yellow blooms. (*_*)

it is yellow jasmine, grows like the Carolina but the flowers are a brighter prettier yellow. Everyone wants that one but very hard to find in a store and buy, nurserys usually only grow and sell the Carolina one. You have found a treasure!

It looks like Confederate Jasmine to me, I have it over an arch and mine blooms in May and again late summer. It is a creamy color and has a very sweet smell and when the blooms fade, they have a very sickening odor (to Me). It grows very thick and easy to root in water! And will cover anything very quickly!!

I would agree with the Jasmine...mine's a white Confederate Jasmine and just has the best smell...I love it when there's a breeze when I'm outside, perfumes the air!

Hey Sandy... I am sorry.... I apologize....I thought you were referring to Poison Ivy. That is one poison vine I keep in front of my mind when discussing poison vines because there was so much of it on the property we used to live before buying our new house. And...it was there I had my MISERABLE encounter with that stinker!! Below is information I put in a computer file on Poisonous Vines. When I had my encounter with Poison Ivy, I actually thought I was pulling up the Virginia Creeper vine. That is a vine whose leaves are in a cluster of five but looks just like Poison Ivy leaves (clusters of three) but is nonetheless most often confused with Poison Ivy. Oh well, I live and learn! Poison ivy is generally found east of the Rocky Mountains, growing as vines or shrubs. The leaves can have either smooth or notched edges and are often clustered in groups of three. Poison oak is more commonly found west of the Rockies, usually as a small bush but sometimes as a climbing vine. Its leaves are smooth-edged and cluster in groups of three, five, or seven. Poison sumac is most often found in wet areas of the Southeast. The leaves are generally smooth and oval-shaped, with seven to 13 growing on each stem. Again...I am sorry I assumed you were talking about Poison Ivy. May we both be careful while enjoying the beautiful outdoors!!

I know, Marti! I had my first "attack" of poison ivy at the age of 40, and, now, many years after, I cannot get near it without an outbreak!

I believe the first photo is a wild morning glory. They are considered a nuisance. They are difficult to kill because they have a long root system. They will take over everything in your yard. We have them in Wyoming and they are awful! However, since the flowers are yellow, I am not sure. Morning glories are white with a hint of pink just before blooming.

It looks to me like "carolina" jasmine.

The leaves look like a Jasmine, which one I'm not sure, but they don't look like wild morning glory as we have 3 different colors of them and none of the leaves or flowers look like the ones here in AZ. Not sure about your area, but leaves look like Jasmine for sure. Hope you find out :)

It is carolina Jasmine. I have 2 in my yard. They can take over if you don't keep them pruned back in the winter.

If it opens up white then turns yellow it's probably star jasmine.
