All gardens are fragrant with the heady scent of jasmine in summer. The flowers above are called Queen of the Night jasmine in India, although it is not a true jasmine. Cestrum nocturmum has a very strong scent to which some people like me, are allergic. These flowers shut off their scent at daybreak so I could take the picture from my neighbour's garden. 
This is another of those pseudo jasmines which is flowering now. Pseuderanthemum reticulatum is called Gokarna jasmine here. It has so scent. 
A special variety from Mysore, this five-layered jasmine has a delicious scent reminding one of sandalwood. 
This is called the Snake Jasmine, but it is also an ersatz jasmine. Rhinacanthus nasutus will stop flowering soon, as it is really a winter bloomer. Its root is used in folk medicine to treat snake bites. 
The Malabar Jasmine is called Needle Jsmine because the buds are shaped like needles. This has a mild perfume. There are some more real jasmines in my garden which send out their heavenly scent during the night. All these plants are planted in the ground.
I thank Katarina of Roses and Stuff for her interesting meme.
