Fragrant vine?

at my old house, in central ky, there was a vine growing like wild in my yard. the blooms were five petaled, white, and very fragrant. very much like jasmine. it was climbing in trees and along fences. (wish i had taken a start when i moved). does anyone know what this may have been, as i would love to have some more.

Fragrant vine?
You have described Tracelospermum jasminoides. White, very fragrant jasmine-like blooms. An evergreen twiner with spear shaped glossy green leaves. Loves a warm sheltered wall, fragrance from heaven.
Reply:it may have been moonflower, blooms open in the evening and last til noon of the next day, flowers are 6" across and the vine grows to 15' in height
Reply:Maybe its Wisteria.
Reply:Confederate Jasmine?





I'm in SC, lots of Carolina Jasmine available if you would like cuttings. Contact my avatar.
Reply:Wisteria is a possivility, Trumpet vine is another, or morning glories is a third
Reply:more then likely it was jasmine, it could have been pink honey suckle, did the blooms curl, if so it would be corkscrew vine. Do a google search of various vines in images and see if your vine pops up. Good luck!
