the rarely-blooming gardenia... blooms
I planted this thing a bit over 4 years ago when we moved in here. It had a bloom on it when I bought it, and bloomed again (1 flower's worth) in 2008, but has never flowered since. I'm sure it's missing some key ingredient in the soil but I'm a tough love gardener and have only watered it and maybe given it a shot or two of Miracl-Gro. I think I googled gardenias once, but then my hard boiled egg timer went off and that was the end of that.

ReplyDeleteOh, how pretty. That's one flower I can't grow in my Michigan garden. You do a great job of capturing the beauty...dewdrops on the flower.
