Kate,

Thanks! It does look like whipped cream and fragrance is incredible! It reminds of Hawaii where I’m from originally. 😁😎

I was just thinking about the scent too! Definitely an all rounder. It must be nice to be reminded of home also! 🌞😊

Kate,

It’s a beautiful and sometimes difficult plant to grow here. The soil and water here is very alkaline and Gardenias love an acidic soil. I give most of my plants horticultural sulfur to lower the soil PH.

Thanks! I hope to get a lot more flowers.
