A genus of climbing asclepiadaceous shrubs, of Madagascar, Malaya, etc. They have fleshy or coriaceous opposite leaves, and large white waxy flowers in cymes.
These are white trumpet-shaped flowers that grow on vines. They are among the most popular and traditional wedding flowers. The high price of this sweet, fragrant flower reflects the fact that each blossom must be removed from its vine and specially prepared for the bouquet. The base of each delicate flower is attached to a small wire and wrapped with floral tape. Most common in summer, but also available in spring and fall.
Stephanotis is a genus of plants belonging to the family Asclepiadaceae. S floribunda is known as Madagascar jasmine. Members of the genus are widely cultivated as garden plants.
