Bridal Bouquet White creeper plant

Bridal Bouquet White Creeper Plant usually refers to Beaumontia grandiflora, also called the Herald’s Trumpet or Nepal Trumpet Flower.

It’s a spectacular large creeper/climber that produces big, pure white, fragrant, trumpet-shaped flowers in clusters — giving it the “bridal bouquet” look. In full bloom, it looks like a wall covered with white bouquets.
