Smaller things

I bought a few of these to mess with, you can keep them blooming year round here. I've been told it's 'same as jasmine' but the leaves and blossoms look more like serissa. Who knows, they give most plants 'story' names here.

I've given a few to other expat's wives and friends, taken them to local dinners to be used as centerpieces.
The little nursery I found them in sold them to me for 20,000 each or about $1.25 US, the pots were around 2,500 VND or about .20 cents.

I'm growing them in almost 100% sand, they like to stay a little on the moist side but can handle being bone dry for a while before watering up.

Ha ha...wouldn't be worth it Ryan, it would never last thru USDA quarentine anyway. Better off to go to your local big box store and buy a serissa.
