Lovely Ladies

Tuesday, June 10th 2008, 4:16pm by Sarah O

My beauties, my treasures, my wonderful gardenias are gracing me with blossoms and even a growth spurt!

I've written about these ladies before. Of all the plantings in both front & back, these are the bushes I tend most carefully.

This winter and spring I even "fertilized" them with the water I took out of our fish tank, and I do believe my larger one liked the fish poop :)

It's now peeking over my azaleas by almost a foot!

I am filling my home with the delicate fragrance. In all the bedrooms, in the kitchen, here by my desk...and it's a wonderful thing to fetch the mail every day.

So nice, Sarah! I'm really jealous. We planted a gardenia in the front bed at our old house. When we moved it was only about 8-12 inches tall. Now it's huge!

I suppose that means, I'll need to be planting another for myself sometime - once the dogs have learned to stop destroying everything. :)
