Beautiful! How I envy you being able to grow them outdoors. Sweetest flowers there are, and recall (gotta be more than fifty years ago) my Virginian grandparents growing them in large numbers and how good they smelled.

Just looking at that photo I can smell them!!! They are delightful. I always kill them. BUT I have star jasmine which smells almost as good.

I love Gardenias and have tried to grow the "will last in freezing weather" ones, but they die, of course. Our winter's are too harsh. Congrats to you, these are gorgeous!

Thanks Donna...we lost one of our Gardena bushes to the cold this past winter, but fortunately the other three faired well... :D
