It sounds really nice! How about that fragrance?

That's lovely. Still waiting for my buds to open :(((

oh Sheila still waiting? I hope they open soon. They could be a bit moody. I call them Prima Donnas!! Everything must be just so or they can sulk.

I should have said the fragrance is what reminds me of Hawaii. :>))

They are fab plants... I absolutely love the heady fragrance...!!! But I too, have also found them to be moody little devils...! Gggrrr!

Yes they can be frustrating.

They need good drainage, with good acidic soil and perfect weather. lol!
We have the perfect weather here in San Diego, the water here is hard so it can cause them problems.

In Florida, they grow everywhere.

Have you seen the many pics of the big Gardenia bushes here I've posted on GoY?

I'd love to see it if you can repost or send me the link.

I'd love to see those Gardenia bushes too . . . just looked at Delonix's photos, but haven't found them yet!

It used to be easier to do searches on GoY. Unfortunately, not so easy now.
Here's a few:

I'll post some new photos in spring when the Mystery Gardenias start to flower. They'll probably bloom very well this year because of all the rain.

I Love Gardenia! It reminds me of Hawaii, where I'm originally from.
My Vietnamese Gardenia (Gardenia vietnamensis) has buds on it right now. I think it's loving all the rain we've been receiving in the last couple of weeks. It's growing unbelievably fast for winter time, also.
