gardenia in my yard

I have enjoyed the gardenias in my mom's yard so much recently. We can pick lots of them to bring inside and there is still more to be had. The smell is delicious. The other day I was amazed to discover I had a small gardenia bush in my own yard! ; ) We are new to Florida and only bought our home 6 months ago . . .

When I walked outside, rounded the corner and saw these blooming I exclaimed out loud and grabbed my camera. ; 0 )
Bah humbug, today was actually the worst day yet for my cold. When I thought I was getting better (wishful thinking) I was really just getting into it! Hopefully an upward swing tomorrow. Stay well. xo
