The Budding Gardenia

The budding gardenia-
how innocent is its fragrance,
as pure as its color.

Our gardenia bushes are still flowering which has been lovely and fragrant.

The gardenia reminds me of my beloved mom since they made up her entire wedding bouquet. I counted about 9-11 blooms from what I could see in a wedding photo from October 1940.

What a lovely memory. I adore the fragrance of gardenia.

Photographing white blooms is as difficult as black objects! Got it right here!

Thank you. Because of our warmer weather, the gardenia bushes continue to bloom. They smell divine! I remember my mom when I see them.
