Yellow Jasmine, also known as Gelsemium sempervirens, is a flowering plant native to the southeastern United States. It features bright yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in early spring and emit a sweet fragrance. The plant is a climbing vine, often found in gardens and natural areas, where it can grow on trellises or fences. Despite its beauty, Yellow Jasmine is toxic if ingested, containing alkaloids that can cause serious health issues. It is important to handle the plant with care and keep it away from pets and children. Gardeners appreciate its ornamental value but should be aware of its potential dangers.
