{Murraya Paniculata 'Orange Jasmine'}



  • Today I want to introduce our 'Orange Jasmine' Murraya paniculata.
  • Again, a plant with highly fragrant blossoms. We have them in planters, outside during the three seasons and inside during winter.
  • This tropical plant is available from Logee's: Orange Jasmine Murraya Paniculata in  Connecticut and that's where ours came from. They do have all kind of exotic plants and lots of citrus plants too. Look for some photos at the very end of this blog, our citrus trees in a pot do even bear fruits!



  • The planters are on the stone patio, in front of our greenhouse. My Dad helped building it, together with Pieter. That's where all our pots will spend their three months period, till the weather is mild enough to be put outside again. Of course it is always too small... 


  • To the left of the greenhouse there are numerous pots that also need to be placed inside the greenhouse... 
  • This is the wooden trail that Pieter build, going alongside the gazebo towards the house. 
  • Our own private walking trail and there are also trails in the wood garden, when crossing the three bridges over the creek. Lots of work done, one day I will show photos how it looked 20 years ago and what we made out of it. 
  • We are the very first people ever living and working on this lot. That's the name for the land where you build your home; used here in the South East of the USA. 
  • We are blessed for having such a private paradise all to our own!
  • Now as promised our citrus trees; in pots:


  • This is a closeup of the pot you see to the right in front of the greenhouse.



  • This gives a good idea of its size... a photo from last year. They ripen inside the greenhouse as our season is not long enough.


  • Yet another variety, inside the greenhouse during winter.
  • One year when Mom & Dad were visiting again in March 1996, from The Netherlands, I left them all on the tree and gave Mom a basket to pick the oranges from the tree behind the gazebo on the patio. 

  • That moment from Monday, March 25 of 1996 is being videotaped...
  • Mom enjoyed that very much and they were sweet and tasty too in our yogurt with granola for breakfast. 

  • The orange blossom is something to enjoy. Often I did use them with jasmines and floating candles for a center piece when friends came to dinner...

  1. liebe mariette,

    ich freue mich, dass ihr im schwedischen möbelhaus erfolgreich gewesen seid. dass ihr an der möbelausgabe warten musstet, ist fast normal. war in deutschland auch oft nicht anders. dort wird leider an der falschen stelle gespart. aber nun könnt ihr eure badutensilien gut verstauen und das bad wirkt anschließend großzügiger. ich mag es auch nicht, wenn zu viele dinge herum stehen.

    und da ihr anschließend noch ganz viele andere erledigungen gleich mit gemacht habt, war es nur natürlich, dass ihr abends erschöpft ward. mir geht es immer so, wenn ich nach montevideo fahre. solange ich unterwegs bin, ist alles ok, aber wenn ich dann eine halbe stunde wieder zuhause bin, fallen mir schlicht die augen zu. irgendwie ist es anstrengend. die hektik, der krach, die vielen autos, drängelnde menschen, dauerkonzentration ...

    gestern habe ich darüber nachgedacht, dass pieter vor vielen, vielen jahren in den anfängen seiner tätigkeit etwas mit meinem großvater zu tun gehabt haben könnte oder ihm der name irgendwann einmal unter gekommen ist. es wäre zwar zufall und auch nicht sehr wahrscheinlich, aber möglich. ;)

    ganz liebe grüße und freu dich auf heute abend, wenn die schränkchen alle hängen und das bad ganz luftig wird!

    Besitos

  2. Liebe Mariette,
    wunderschöne und exotische Pflanzen zeigst Du uns!
    Das Gewächshaus ist natürlich ideal, um solche herrlichen Pflanzen überwintern zu lassen!
    Das Deine Bäumchen auch Früchte tragen, ist ganz toll und nicht selbstverständlich!
    Hier zeigt es sich, dass sie alles haben was sie
    zum Gedeihen brauchen!
    Wünsche Dir weiterhin viel Freude damit und
    sende Dir einen ganz lieben Gruß
    aus dem verregneten Hannover!
    Lilo

  3. Hoi Mariette,

    Leuk om weer een kijkje te mogen nemen in je tuin! Wat fijn dat jij ook een kas hebt. Ik beleef er zelf zoveel plezier aan. Je citrusboompjes zien er goed uit. Bij ons overleven ze helaas de winter niet. Zelfs wanneer ze in de kas staan!

    Een fijne dag!

    Lieve groet, Madelief

  4. oh wat toevallig...volgens mij zag ik die soort Jasmijn ook in zuid-frankrijk op vakantie, hier kennen we hem niet, alleen van het tuincentrum...kan dat kloppen?

  5. Hallo Mariette,
    deine Blumen haben mich gelockt, da musste ich gleich mal reinschauen. Ich kann mir den Duft von dem Orangenjasmin gut vorstellen und meine, ich hätte auch schon mal so einen Ableger aus England mitgebracht. Leider hat er nicht lange überlebt. Aber Zitronen und Orangen habe ich auch und deren Blüten sind ja der absolute Genuss. So ein Gewächshaus ist eine feine Sache.
    Schöne Grüße, Johanna
