Sweet Smell of Success

Happy Mother's Day to all my friends on 365!
This beautiful Gardenia came from my daughter's house. Two years ago I helped her prune her huge bushes and now I can't remember if I planted a shoot that had already taken root or stuck the cuttings into the ground but which ever way it was it is from her plant. I have never had blossoms on it until this year. I just noticed the gorgeous scent a day or two ago and thought it was from the neighbor's honeysuckle. Yesterday I discovered it was from my Gardenia which had several blossoms all on the underside of the plant that I hadn't seen until I smelled them!
Happy Mother's Day Katy..... what a beautiful Gardenia...love them and their wonderful fragrance.

@debbim Thanks,Debbi! I think it actually is a little blurry because the camera was inside and when I took it outside to shoot there was a little condensation on the lens.
