Okay so I desperately want one of these plants, but have no idea how to get one. This is apparently a (perennial) Weeping Jasmine (Jasminum mesnyi)- however when I search for it (common and scientific name), the only results are from Pinterest and the odd scammy seed website. The closest I got when searching the scientific name led me to Primrose Jasmine (from a reputable seller, but not what I’m looking for)- yellow flowers and seemingly not the same shape anyway. Is there more to the scientific name? Is the weeping Jasmine even a thing, or are they just trained vines from another variety? Thank you 🙂

It looks like plastic to me. Don’t think that’s real. There’s many ‘extra’ things hanging out of flowers like jelly strands that look very unnatural.
The closest thing you can get to a weeping white flower vine is probably a Weeping Clerodendrum, look up *Clerodendrum wallichii*
Thats plastic. Nothing flowers like that
this pic has been circulating a couple times, back then people said, it’s AI, now here they say it’s plastic, either way, undortunately they are probably not real!
Is that real?
[Jasminum mesnyi](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasminum_mesnyi) looks nothing like the one in your pic. It has yellow flowers rather than white and is a woody climber, so wouldn’t hang like that.
Here’s my one flowering at home

Maybe you could do similar to the pic with Jasminum grandiflorum in a large hanging basket, and cut back/fertilise each year to encourage lots of softer shoots where the flowers form.
oh, they’re very beautiful
Either plastic or AI
Closest thing I can think of is sweet autumn clematis. I don’t think the picture is real.
Jasminum sambac/ Arabian jasmine according to Google image search
