Stephanotis floribunda also called Madagascar Jasmine, Waxflower or Hawaiian Wedding Flower is a flowering climbing plant very popular in
wedding bouquets. Stephanotis grows best in sunny, tropical conditions, or inside. It can reach between 2 and 6 meters, and is widely cultivated as a garden plant.
The genus name Stephanotis has Greek origins, made up of two words; stephonos meaning crown and otos which is ear; a 'crown of ears' which it faintly resembles with the flower trumpet as a meatus surrounded by five "ears." The scent of the flowers is strongly reminiscent of the true jasmine.
