Happy with New Stephanotis floribunda or Madagascar Jasmine

 Yay, what a happy sight at Trader Joe's—Stephanotis

Stephanotis floribunda has been my all time favorite fragrant flower!

Had them back in The Netherlands and also at our previous home in Dublin, Georgia and here at our home.

Ordered a Madagascar Jasmine (Stephanotis floribunda) from Logee's ←click link—if you don't live near any Trader Joe's...

nostalgic photo from 1988 on our solid oak windowsill inside a Delft White cachepot.

To me this photo is meaningful—for the memory...

When we moved up north and then to Italy, a dear friend kept this one for me and I got it back in May of 1992!

Closeup of the heavenly Stephanotis blooms in 1992!

And again here, probably without flash...

Photo from our kitchen in 1998 and in the center of our bay window, I had another stephanotis and two Hoya Cornosa plants around a metal ring.

Below my hand crocheted curtain you also see a Hoya Bella in a brass planter on chains.

We are about to have a baby Hoya Bella taking up residence there!

And here our new resident captured this morning at breakfast time!

Just like in the above image...

A healthy and happy new resident!
