Creamy white blossoms, shiny, dark blue-green leaves…..and an exotic fragrance. What more could you want from a flower? Gardenias have it all. I enjoy all this beauty right in my front flower bed and take many photos to paint.
Letters From Adele 
Stunning! Oh I love the background color, very dramatic. Gardenias are definitely one of my favorite flowers.
Love you
Karen
Thank you. Gardenias are my favorite flower, also…a close second is a planter full of bright red Geraniums. Good thing there are changing seasons.
Love to smell air when they are in boom. I had 2 sweet olive bushes on Aquatic & they were great smellers also.
Kathy, I’m not familiar with sweet olive bushes. I’ll check them out. Our Gardenia bushes are right in front of the living room window, near the front door.
