Gardenias are a Intensely fragrant white blossoms contrast beautifully with shiny, leathery dark green leaves. Double forms are classic corsage flowers.
Gardenia is a genus of flowering plants in the coffee family, Rubiaceae, native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, Madagascar and Pacific Islands.They are evergreen shrubs and small trees growing to (3.3–49.2 ft) tall. The leaves are opposite or in whorls of three or four, (2.0–19.7 in) long and (1.2–9.8 in) broad, dark green and glossy with a leathery texture. The flowers are solitary or in small clusters, white, or pale yellow, with a tubular-based corolla with 5-12 lobes (petals) from (2.0–4.7 in) diameter. Flowering is from about mid-spring to mid-summer, and many species are strongly scented.

Bruce, Ran across this when I was looking at features in the "Most Beautiful Flowers Group" and had to stop to comment on this one. It is so delicate but yet so strong and the clarity on this is amazing! Love the fact that there are no damage marks on it and the white of the bloom looks like it is folded up just perfectly. Congratulations on the feature! -Sherry f/l
