INTOXICATING GARDENIA...

 

They’re shaped like a wild rose and have a wonderful fragrance that has a powerfully invigorating effect.

 

The flowers are solitary or in small clusters, many species are strongly scented.

 

There are 142 native species, and as far as we know the plant was first recorded in the 10th century by the Chinese painter Xu Xi.

The Gardenia is named after the American doctor and botanist Alexander Garden, who discovered the plant in the 18th century.

 

Hope this makes you smile again, have a great day and thank you for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)
