It has a terrific, sweet fragrance! The flower is about 4 inches wide.

Kate,

Thank you 😊! Gardenias remind of Hawaii. A lot of my family in Hawaii grow this Gardenia. My dad used to have beautiful big Tahitian Gardenias at his house in Pearl City. They grow much bigger in Hawaii than here in San Diego.
