    They should open in their own time. Possibly in the next 3 days. Someone mentioned to cover fleece should there be cold nights, and you may have to do that as there is a cold snap in the next couple of days. This Jasmine is extremely tender and not likely to enjoy any frost. Good luck with it, you must have a really established shrub for it to flower naturally outdoors.

    Thank you borderline. It's been growing for 2 years in that spot. I'm in the city so u think it's warmer and sheltered because Gardens are back to back. I'm just hoping all these buds become gloriously scented flowers. Last year I only had aboutv5 actual flowers on the whole plant. The rest were killed by the cold and snow. I'll keep updates coming

    Don't know if the extra sunny weather has done it or the horticultural fleece but look what's just happened!

    Still loads of buds I'm hoping will flower

    Great to see them finally flowering. I'm sure the other buds will break open very soon. They clearly like the conditions in your garden to get that mature. The leaves look very healthy.

    Thank u @Borderline. I feel very lucky becuase it was one of the first plants I bought for my garden. I didn't know anything about plants then I just liked the smell. I planted it out without even checking.
    Here's an old picture of it just after I planted it. 
    Compared with now

    That's a really nice looking raised bed too. I like the way the planks are fixed vertical. You are lucky to have such an enclosed space to allow a Jasmine like that to thrive. I've not ever seen them grown outside like this.

    Thank you @Borderline I'll post a picture when the majority of the buds are open

    Just an update for anyone interested in growing this plant outside... The buds are opening in dribs and drabs. However just one or two of these flowers smells amazing! There still seems to be plenty of pink buds to go. Here's some pictures.
