Joe, Thank you so much. Your answer is exactly corrrect. Yes, I am in South Texas, outside of San Antonio. I am always amazed at the knowledge on these forums. I am so happy to know what I have now. Thanks again. Karen

Maybe Carolina Yellow Jessamine/Gelsemium sempervirens?

here's a trick ... next time.. buy a plant with one single flower in bloom.. and covered with a hundred buds ... then you can spend the next few weeks watching it bloom ... never buy a plant i full bloom ... the show will be short .. it will rebloom.. but its going to take.. 4 to 6 weeks to rebud and bloom ... and there is nothing you can do to speed it up .... all it needs between now and them... if PROPER watering .... give it a good drink.. and then let it near dry before you do that again .... i suggest a tray under it.. in case it leaks ... i would bet a shiny penny.. the media is sponge like ... and holds a lot of water.. as such.. it does not need constant daily water ... the weight of the pot.. the loss of water.. will tell you when it is starting to dry ... ken

Depending on your climate they will grow and flower all year. But they also self seed and will spread to wherever seeds might be washed to by rain.
