In my Garden

Not a lot of the Gardenia blooms are surviving in the heatwave we are having.

Lovely Kathy and oh the perfume

[Babs]

They do suffer in severe heat don't they. We had two gardenias in our garden a few years ago and they died off in 40-degree heat

@onewing its been 36C here the last two days, hopefully we'll get a cooler spell from tomorrow

[Babs]

@kjarn It has been slightly cooler here than where you are, only reaching 30 degrees but I think we get the sea breeze which makes it cooler.
A cool change is on its way I believe, but we need some rain.

[Kathy A]

@onewing I'm looking forward to the predicted 20C on Friday. Yes, we do need rain

[Diana]

A lovely bloom.

[Pam Knowler]

One of my favourite flowers with stunning perfume. What a shame the heat is affecting the number of blooms. Hope you get it cooler very soon!

[Kathy A]

@pamknowler it is sad to see them not coping. Thank you for the fav Pam

My friend Judy LOVES Gardenias! She cuts off the blossoms and floats them in water sometimes. But hers are smaller and her tree is in a pot indoors. I hope more of your blooms survive- it's such a pretty scent. Nice shot.
