Hi Bensen,

Off the top of my head, I would say Jasmine would lead the list. Jasminum nitidum blooms well for me all winter, but it is a little dirty, dropping leaves and suffering from occasional stem dieback...just always looks a little unkept. Jasminum polyanthum is a prettier, cleaner plant, more of like an actual twining vine...mine has yet to bloom.

Most brugs bloom in warmer months. Gardenias tend to do the same thing, but there is one called 'Four Seasons' which is supposed to bloom all year round.

Maybe a Banana Shrub, Michelia figo. Another Michelia is M. champaca.

Desmos chinensis, Dwarf Ylang-Ylang, blooms in the spring I think, but is very fragrant. There is also an Ylang-Ylang vine, Artabotrys hexapetalus, but I don't know much about it other than it is invasive in Hawaii...may be worth checking out.

For winter blooms, you may have to keep the GH on the warm side.
