Speaking of the intoxication of fragrance from my star jasmine I told you about the other day, and as lovely as that is, it does not compare to my gardenias. They are in full bloom indoors and out right now. I planted them in my shade garden years ago and loved them so much, I put only two plants inside my greenhouse.
All I can say is WOW!
Their fragrance is unmatched with no competition whatsoever. In fact, this year I decided to add roses and lavender inside my greenhouse to extend this olfactory experience. First the roses bloom, David Austin’s of course. Then the lavender opens up to release their bouquet of scent. And just when I think I‘ve died and gone to heaven, the incredible petals of my gardenias announce their arrival with one of the sweetest fragrances on earth. Truly this gift from above should not be missed by any gardener.
2 Cor 2:14 But thanks be to God, who through Christ, always leads us in triumphal procession and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of Him in every place.
