Have to love a nice gardenia bloom!

Sorry I didn't think to take a wide angle of the entire tree. This is one my wife planted a year and a half ago after a Costco purchase. Hasn't grown size-wise quite like I have wanted, but it does put out a lot of blooms that smell divine!

You can also see how quickly the blooms wither; they only seem to last for a few days before yellowing/browning. Weeds seem to bloom the entire spring/summer, but pretty things like this last barely long enough to appreciate!
