Beautiful, does it have as much fragrance as the white-flowering jasmine?

No about half as much,but just as pretty!!!

Your yellow flowers are so vivid, a real butter-yellow (versus Becel yellow)

Jasmine are among the prettiest climbers. How tall does yours get by end of growing season?

I've got a new white one, it'll be a while before it's as showy as yours.

Well,I just bought it late last fall,and it has already climb to the top of the 8ft bamboo cane I installed in th pot,I think it will get at least 20ft,after I plant it in the ground,says hardy to zone 7,shall we will see if it.
I have a stephanotis,weeding flower vine as well white flowers that has grown to about 10ft in one year,and is very fragrant.
Also have a few different passion flowers,that are fragrant also,gotta love those vines!!!

Don, you get THAT MUCH growth...sheesh, are you putting manure on those things?
It's grown 8 FEET ... and Stephanotis 10 feet...IN THE WINTER????

I'm looking at my new baby jasmine plant....GROW, YOU BEGGAR!

Do you make your own potting soil? What fertilizer(s) do you use?

Yes I do mix a little sand and perlite in with Sta-green potting mix,along with a little potash,potassiumand nitrate,those you can buy in the yellow and reg packages,also a mix a little triple super phosphate with the flowering plants.
Last year I use mainly 20-20-20 peters soluble fertilizer,seems the plants responded better to it than miracle grow,every once in a while if I can find it I use shultz 10-60-10 bloom booster.
I try to fertilzer every other week,instead of once a month.
This winter I have tried those extented fertilzer,you know once every 4 months or so,can't tell anything has happened using them.
But it maybe needs more time to tell and outside sun might make a difference as well.
Today I put a few plants outside,to get them use to sunshine again,spring is definetly on it's way!!!

I've copied your reply; those items are on my shopping list. Wow, no wonder they grow 10 feet!

Jeez, your plants are doing so well WITHOUT outside sunshine...they'll be over the roof of your house when you put 'em outside.

Don, thanks for that.
