I have a large Gardenia thunbergia or Starry Gardenia. It took me a few years to figure out, but if we get a good rain for a few days or if I deep water it for three days in a week it will bloom for three days about a week later.

DV identified it for me this month and they say it bears fruit with seeds so next season I'm going to water it more and see if it makes a diffrence.

Hasn't been pruned since Dolly layed it over so I plan on taking cuttings this fall.
