ONE AND ONLY







Gardenia.
Delicate, fragrant and beautiful.
Three bushes, but only one blossom this fall.






Love hearing from YOU!
Blessings,
Cindy

  1. Lovely! I'm not sure that I've smelled any sweeter smell than a Gardenia.

    What size are these plants? Do you know if the deer eat them? I think this might be something I need to add to my landscape.

  5. I'm trying so hard to catch up on "bloggy" visits since our move & finally made it here. I can almost smell the gardenia. I actually have one that survived the move and the AZ heat. I think in this climate, they bloom in the Spring.

    Can't wait to see what you do with your Great Room now minus the pool table. That must have been a joyous occasion.

    Love the roaster you found, & it looks beautiful filled with the wonderful Fall flowers.

    Nice to visit again, Cindy

  8. Oh my gosh, a white gardenia. I had the same flower growing right beside my pool in my old house in Northern Cal. I really miss those flowers, as the smell is so strong and pretty. You really captured the beauty of the gardenia in these photos.

  10. One of my favorite shrubs, and the flowers are heavenly! I've lost each plant we put out. I just don't have any luck with Gardenias. Don't feel to bad, I think they are hard to grow.
