Gardenia Nitida

Wrightstown, NJ(Zone 7a)

This has to be the most unusual bud. The frangrance is soft yet so much of it. Does that make sense? This is the one we were discussing that Logees had for sale in their latest catalog. When it arrived in the 4" pot I wondered why I spent $25 for that. Now I know. Here is the picture of the bud. At this point I thought there would be more than one flower in it, but it turns out only one flower on this long stem bud. That will be in the next post. JB

This is a two day old bloom....they will all eventually curl downward. Very strange but smell great.

Almost reminds me of the shape of the single Tabernaemontana blooms
