Neighbor has a flower climber plant on the roof of his garage. It smells like jasmine, but the flowers are very different. I am wondering what plant this is?
Not sure but it looks rather like a climber/twinner, I would would bet on Holboellia or possibly one of the Akebia's. A clearer image of the plant itself would help.
There are about 5 species all native to the Himalaya and China. The fruit can be quite spectacular but they rarely set fruit as far as I know. The flowers are either male or female but they do normally appear on the same plant.
Holboellia coriacea was first introduced from China by the great plant Hunter himself, E H Wilson, in 1907. Not of the species in question.
I am in London, UK. It looks similar to Holboellia coriacea. Which species of Holboellia are best for London, UK climate? My neighbors is quite good, but I believe it flowers only in May/April, rest of the year it does not look spectacular
Can't say that I know the genus that well and with limited space it would not be my first choice of plants. I find it more interesting than attractive, but in flower it is certainly a talking point.
