    Help! I received this plant as a present but does not seem to be doing well, I have searched all over the internet trying to find out what kind of plant this is... can you please help me find out what kind of plant it is so that I can take care of it properly.
    It has little flowers with six petals.
    I attached two pictures.
    Thank you

    Thank you very much for your help :) I looked at some of the pictures of the star jasmine and the star jasmine flowers looks a little different than this flower (it is wilting in the picture) also, the leaves of the unknown are paired at each node and look like an "odd pinnate" leaf type (if the leaf terminology sounds right).
    Thank you

    Not sure but it might be Jasminum polyanthum.

    In your climate it would be better grown outdoors in summer, but brought under shelter at the first frost. It's light-loving and a greedy feeder, maybe needs a larger container. Around here it's quite invasive, though non-seeding.

    Agree with Jasminum polyanthum.
