Our son, the soldier, and his family are home for a visit. He is on leave from Fort Riley, Kansas. I had taken many pictures of our gardenia bush this year and dreamed of experiencing that 10 foot tall bush, filled with blooms, with my granddaughter.
Little did I know that one special bloom appeared while they were home this week! I would never have believed it had my granddaughter not taken a picture to show me! I squealed with excitement and told her how to pick the precious bloom! We have really enjoyed sharing the heavenly fragrance of the single gardenia bloom in the 100 degree, Mississippi summer days!

Please give your son and his family our Thanks and Best Wishes. We certainly are grateful for their service.
And so happy you shared this lovely photo. I can almost smell it from here. LOL
Precious Memories.

I also found I wasn't watering enough for fear of over watering. Both plants have new growth and new buds and are blooming. As long as the pot can drain well (I water every two to three days, or if buds look a tad droopy) I think it makes a big difference, plus the weather in August is hot.
Now, the ants have hit the one plant. Their eating some kind of larvae in the buds. Suggestions? (08/09/2009)
