My Gardenia plant is doing so great. I sent for the plant and it came in a very small pot. I just finally moved it over to a larger plant .. and it’s sprouting new leaves every week.
This was my mom’s favorite plant; and I just had to have one. The aroma will remind me of her every day.
Gardenias do smell lovely. Maybe that’s what I’ll plant in my front yard. I have a rectangular bed in front of the front patio, and it has a center of tulips, and hyacinths surrounded by miniature roses.
However, the roses have gone down hill, and hubby wants me to choose something else. While I would like to keep the plants rather short for neatness, I would also like to have a really good smelling plant with pretty flowers.
