Re: gardenia buds!
Pam,
When I was in Houston last week my sister had 4 big plants and they were all
starting to bloom... in a couple of days I bet they were covered. I love
gardenias the very most of any scent. We have one that grows in the indoor
pool at the YMCA... I help them with the plants so I get to take a bloom and
put it in my pocket when they are blooming. The smell transports me to a
wonderful place!
