I like to watch humming birds and keep flowers. If your area is not conducive to humming birds and flowers you might try smoking a half of a big fatty while you make plans to move to the country side.

Are you looking for a specific flower? The plant shown on the site below is an example. A lot of other species in this family (some climbers, some not) have similar characteristics.  Moth pollinated plants often have white tubular flowers that open at night and have a strong fragrance ... but not all have wind-dispersed seeds (example: Cereus peruvianus, one of the columnar cacti, has a fleshy fruit).

The Passion Flower is quite nice.  Orchids are pretty too.

Here's an interesting tidbit - I love the story of Adonis and Aphrodite. When Adonis falls from his wound, his drops of blood turned to blood red anemone flowers. Well, here's the neat thing - I went on a trip to Greece and went all around the Peloponnese and up to Delphi and to Delos and Crete, etc. All around the countryside in the fields and by the roadsides, there were these little wildflowers blooming. They are scattered about in springtime and are the brightest irridescent red you've ever seen on a flower! This is what I love - finding concrete evidence that still exists today that links us to these ancient myths.

Pasque flowers (or pasqueflowers) are deciduous perennials that are found in short clumps in meadows and prairies of North America and Eurasia. The genus Pulsatilla includes about 30 species, many of which are valued for their finely-dissected leaves, solitary bell-shaped flowers, and plumed seed heads.\n\nIn its tallgrass prairie habitat, it is one of the first plants to bloom in the spring, often before the late winter snows have thawed.\n\nThis genus is sometimes included as part of genus Anemone as subgenus Pulsatilla, and is also commonly known as the Prairie crocus. The pasque flower is the official state flower of South Dakota and the provincial flower of Manitoba.

That is Murraya paniculata, commonly known as orange jasmine or mock orange in the US and as rain bush in Australia. It is a native of Australia and South East Asia and a serious environmental weed in Hawaii.\n\nThe plant comes in a variety of forms, with the Australian form having smaller, rounder olive green leaves and more leaflets to each leaf. The one in your photo looks like the Malayan form, with large glossy green leaves and relatively few leaflets. There are also cultivated dwarf forms that only grow to a a metre or so in height that make reasonable indoor plants\n\nThey are available at most nurseries and grow  well in most of the southern US. \n\nEdit>>>>\n\nMaverick that is most definitely NOT any type of Gardenia. Gardenias are characterised by TERMINAL infloresences and an INFERIOR gynoecium. You can  see quite plainly from the photographs that this plant has AXILLIARY inflorescences and the gynoecium is SUPERIOR.\n\nMoreover, as you yourself point out, G. jasminoides has SIMPLE leaves. This plant quite clearly has COMPOUND leaves. To the untrained eye this may not be obvious, but look at the first photo provided and look at the flower at the top right. If you look at the leaf that is partially obscuring that flower you can quite clearly see the individual leaflets. \n\nAdded to that G jasminoides has >11 perianth parts. These flowers have 5-10. Have a look at some Gogle images of G. jasminoides. The flowers all have >6 petals and have a superficial similarity to roses. These flowers have only 5 petals.\n\nThis plant quite clearly belongs to the Rutacea. It can not therefore be a Gardenia.\n\nI'm not sure if you are claimiong to be a botanist yourself or that your information comes form a botanist, but I would fail my botany students for identifying that plant as a member of the Rubiacea.
