Gardenia




These are wonderful plants with brilliant shiney leaves and a flower with a special fragrance. I don't think they are supposed to do well in this sub tropical climate, but they do. My daughter has several growing at her place, and my plant grew from a cutting from one of her bushes. It grows in a pot - is somewhat neglected and has flowered several times in the couple of years that I have had it here.

The flowers don't seem to last long - but even as they are fading the fragrance can fill a room.
