Gardenias
I love gardenias.
I love the way they smell.
I love the way they look in a bowl.
But I really love them because they remind me of March 01 2009, the day Will proposed to me. (coincidentally we found out the following day that we were pregnant 😉 )
It’s gardenia season and lucky us, we have a small gardenia tree in the courtyard where we live.

I love gardenias as well, and miss having the beautiful trees in my yard. I used to place them in a bowl as well throughout the house for their beauty and fresh scent.

I am loving our gardenia plant too! Smells so pretty! They also remind me of Dave….got a little plant for me on our first Valentine’s day.

I keep it inside actually. I killed my first one, so I have the impression that they can be a bit delicate & with the salt air blowing in, my plants don’t fair well out there. I bought this one from Ikea. Its nice to smell it as soon as you walk in the door!

gardenias remind me of my grandmother, she had them at her house.
