That was really thoughtful that he gave you the seeds along with the chocolate. You'd think with all of us being gardeners, that anything to do with gardening would be an obvious gift, but that isn't always the case!

I told mine that I didn't want anything this year, not even a card. Instead I went on a little shopping spree on ebay last night.... :) I found this seller who makes homemade bubble bath, soap, lotion, candles, etc. She has one scent called "Angel's Trumpet". If this stuff smells anything at all like a brug I'll be in heaven!!! HAPPY VALENTIES DAY EVERYBODY!size=4>color=red>

I have also written my husband off as unromantic, but yesterday SURPRISE he show up with 12 garendia plants, 2 minature roses, and a huge icecream cake! The kid's are enjoying the icecream cake. I'm happy as I can be. Over the years he used to bring me home cut roses or flowers. Although I appreciated it, I enjoy having a plant that I can enjoy for years not just a few days. He has finally gotten the hint. Now that he has taken the hint, I have to find a suitable place for the gardenia's! I have read on here how difficult they are to grow. I've never grown any before, now I have 12 precious little lives in my hands, wish me luck!

I haven't found gardenias to be hard. Just plant and they take off. Do a search so that you have the proper conditions they need. Are they the small ones or the large? Be sure to find out before you plant. Good Luck and Congratulations to you and your thoughtful husband!

Jessay 3, I have only one criteria for my several gardenias and that is to protect them from the north winds. I read that years ago and moved several from the south side of my house to the north side and they have been so much happier.
