Getting out of the car and walking up my sidewalk, a wonderful aroma drifted up...
Looking down, I couldn't believe it, my gardenia bush is blooming like crazy. I was so excited I had to run in and grab the camera. I bought this gardenia bush from a little landscape place down the road from me in 2007 and was disappointed with no blooms at all in 2007 or 2008. Last year, the bush had a total of 9 flowers. I had seen all of the little green buds earlier in the week and assumed it was sprouting leaves... no idea that this plant was getting hundreds of flowers all over it.
I hope everyone else is getting to see beautiful spring and summer flowers, too!

P.S. I just searched the web to read about gardenias. Did you know they are in the coffee family? I had no idea.
Absolutely love them. Wish I could smell them from here. Enjoy those lovely blooms.
What a lovely surprise! I miss gardenias, none around my house anywhere. Enjoy them!
