Story with Flower

I would  not post a flower 2 days in a row except for the story behind this one.  In 2000, three years before my mother died, I went to her neighbor's house to take Gardenia cuttings.  I rooted quite a few, and they grew into nice plants at our house.  Before moving to our current house in 2006, I took cuttings from some of my Gardenia bushes, nurtured them and planted them when we came here almost 9 years ago.  They are nearly full of blooms, and to me, no flower smells better than a Gardenia.  I wish I could post the fragrance for you.
