Last year my gardenia bush had buds but they would all fall off before they bloomed. I haven't done anything differently this year but it seems to be thriving! I think within a few weeks this plant will be covered with blooming flowers. I love the scent but my daughter hates it. I've met a few other people who don't like it either. Do you like the scent of gardenias?
My hydrangea next to it is starting to bloom also and the lilies and roses are close to blooming too. I love June, everything blooms in unison in my little, tiny, pint-size garden.

Oh, I love the smell of gardenias. I wish that I could grow them outside, but NJ winters are too harsh. Thanks for sharing -- your "little" patio looks amazing! -- Mary
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! You know, I don't know if I've ever smelled gardenias! Now I have to track some down so I can see if I like them or not! :-) The little nest and eggs is adorable, too! ~A :-)
ReplyDeleteThey're absolutely gorgeous! I can almost smell them...and I love their scent! So heady - Mmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteI'm with your daughter on this one.
I hate the smell of gardenias. They give me a headache. I think they are really pretty to look at though.
My hydrangias are blooming too!

I love the smell of gardenias as long as they are outdoors, but I can't have them inside because the smell is overpowering for me. I so wish I had a bush in my yard. Can't wait to see photos when your garden is in full bloom. I'm sure it is beautiful. xoxo

I wore gardenias on my wedding day bought by my dear mother who wore them on her wedding day. ♥
ReplyDeleteI love the smell and look of gardenias. How wonderful to have all that blooming at once! Delightful!
ReplyDeleteI love the rest of the vignette
too. You have such lovely things...that little nest is adorable.
Hugs,

I love the scent as long as it's only one or they are outside.
ReplyDeleteMy mother, on the other hand, hates them. To her they represent funerals.
I guess during her era it was a popular funeral flower.

I LOVE the scent of gardenias. So does my husband. We also have citrus trees in our backyard - and they smell yummy, too, when they are in bloom. Beautiful site - thank you for sharing!

How could you not love the smell of Gardenias? They are my favorite! I had them all over my wedding. It was an "Emma" inspired garden party reception with the smell of gardenias filling the air.
ReplyDeletelucky you :) i wish i could smell them too.
ReplyDeleteI love gardenias but they don't like me...headache and lots of sneezing. You are so lucky to have such a beautiful garden.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the scent of gardenias blooming, so I can't imagine why anyone would not. It's so sweet & delicious, really one of my favorite garden scents.

I love the scent of gardenia. I have some on my desk right now. I'm going to hate when the bush finishes blooming. I had buds fall off one year, too. I have no idea why, but it must have to do with conditions of some sort.
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of gardenias to .
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your blog to :o))
