Gardenia #WordlessWednesday

Posted on July 28, 2021 by Enchanted Seashells by Princess Rosebud

This was my mom’s favorite and sometimes I’ll get a plant so I can remember her by their fragrance, even though I’m sooo allergic.

I used to think gardenia and camellia were the same flower, but I learned that the gardenia is known for its intense perfume; less so the camellia. I never knew that!
