My First Gardenia of the Year

It’s That Time of Year

Ahhh, a post about nothing in particular.  Sometimes I need to do that.

I love gardenias.  I wore one on my wedding day although they can fade pretty fast especially in heat.  I love the smell of them, it’s kind of intoxicating. My wife thinks they are a little too fragrant.  I can’t argue with that.  That’s what I like about them.

Flowers that don’t have a scent just don’t do it for me.

I always look forward to the first blooms of the year, feed them the “flowering food” in hopes that they will come out a little earlier but it always seems to be right around this time.

My mother in law has one in her backyard that seems to always have flowers on it but they are much smaller.  I think although I’ve never researched it, that there are several varieties of them as the plant looks a little different than mine.

Sappy post, I know.  Thought I’d share.

Thanks for visiting!
