Heavenly Scented Gardenia

by 25 Comments

Update: I was told these were gardenias, but I kept thinking they look more like the magnolias I grew up with in Florida. I still think they’re white magnolias. If anyone knows for sure, let me know in the comments. Thanks.

I have four good size Gardenia trees on one side of my house and they are beginning to bloom. So beautiful and the scent is like heaven. One of my favorite flowers.

    Looking good, flowers are under appreciated by so many. It is good to see them thriving here.

    Lovely. Wish they were perennial here, but we’re too cold!
