Waiting for the vines to bloom as Orange Jasmines, bloom through the tropical winter

This year our tropical winter has been draped early in dense fog with a cold spell for weeks, then mild warm,  then raining, then chilly again with a cold spell and  may be, mild warm will follow, thus is it has been, up and down and so have been the flower blossoms in our tiny collection. The phlox and asters flourished inititally and the marigolds were steady and handsome from the beginning and continuing sturdily with form and colour. But the 'mums' got stuck on the way and blossomed slowly. After all of this, finally, the Dahlias simply bloomed taking a grand approach. But interestingly during all this we found that the lovely green remained in the shrubs and plants as the fog and rain took away most of the dust. All of them though survived the harsh foggy, cold spell, chill rain in their own way. They all but loved the mild sun, which appeared from time to time and helped them through. I saw the flower buds in the Flame vines aproaching for the first time this year and also in the "night jasmines-Queen of the night", the plants know more than us when its time for the change. But guess what! The orange jasmines have now, also bloomed through the tropical winter. They don't bloom in the real hard winter and come in the springtime but here they blossomed several time throughout the year. Their orange like sweet fragrance was simply alluring and the flowers look just divine. The shrub is an evergreen variety and the green is truly an olive one-take a close look!
