Guys,
Can someone identify this plant and more importantly the huge bud growing on it. I'm pretty sure it's a madagascar jasmine but the bud is the size of an orange and weighs more than a cricket ball!





Cheers,


David

You're right, it is a Madagascan Jasmine (Stephanotis floribunda), and what you have there is a fruit, which isn't edible unfortunately. The plant probably won't produce many, if any flowers whilst the fruit is ripening, so if you want more flowers, remove the fruit.

Thanks Tim, that makes much more sense. I'll remove it and feed it to the sodding cat that's leaving paw marks on my V6 redface)

Cheers!
