These are flowers from a tree growing here in town. It's an old tree, probably not named. It's growing on a small strip of dirt between 2 buildings.
I think the color is beautiful, but the fragrance, to die for. I could smell it several feet away and it smells like pure Gardenia. There is another tree there that has a beautiful rounded lighter pink. The bloom is beautiful but doesn't have anywhere near the fragrance this beauty does. There were also several different white ones and some younger ones that have been recently planted. All looked like they desperately needed food and water. They are sandwiched between to parking lots with very little room for the roots to spread out and cool off. I fed them all, hoping we get some rain to wash it in.
