Beautiful😘

Perfect flower. Bet it smells lovely 🤍💛🤍

@gjones thanks Katy 😊 it smells heavenly 😋 so strong even with just one flower open 🥰 this is left out all year and is usually perfectly fine. Has struggled a little this year after the awful frosts we had in spring but is now bouncing back 🤍

@crabby58 @hkyfvr thank you both ☺️ the fragrance is very powerful so good thing it’s pleasant 😅

Always welcome 🤍🤍😊

Another favourite of mine that you have 🤍 Still not managed to get one yet!

@jeatacake I tried to take cuttings but no success yet. Will keep trying 😛

Some things are nigh on impossible to get to root as cuttings 😏

@jeatacake fun trying though 😛

Exquisite

@sushiwaitress thank you Ruth ☺️ smells as good as it looks 😍

It's loaded! Gonna smell pretty good!💘😍

Wow. That is something to look forward to. 💕😊

Wow is it outside

If they can survive up here all winter outside, then I'm definitely going to get one 👍

@gjones it is 😁 the buds are bigger than usual so hoping for a decent display soon 😋

@ShelleySnyder I forgot about the scent 😜 even one flower you can smell from a fair distance so should be beautiful with a few open 😋

@hkyfvr always get excited for gardenia blooms ☺️ as exotic as my garden gets 🤣

@sharonhayden it has been outside for over 3 years now, in every weather. It is a strong little thing 💚

@jeatacake I took a cutting so hopefully will be a success and will be yours 😁 should be ok in your winters too since it’s hardy down to -10° apparently 🥶

Oh that'd be fantastic Kerry. Thank you 🥰 I hope it's successful 🤞

@jeatacake always a pleasure 😛 the cuttings gods better come good this time! 😅

👍🤩

@sharonhayden thanks Sharon 😀

@gjones they’re beautiful to look at and sniff 😋😋

Beautiful 🌼🌼🌼

@midnightgardener thank you Chris ☺️ nice to have a gardenia you can keep outdoors 💚

Perfection!

Really must get one of these. How tall & wide is it?

Love the gold stamens 😍😍😍

That is such a perfect bloom Kerry 🐝

🤍💛🤍 #bestofjune

I bet it smells wonderful my is no where near flowering

Great photo and great flower. 🤩

Beautiful 📷, flower is perfect 🤍

@italydiva thanks Angela 😀

@jeatacake thanks Jeff 😃 you must! 😉 it’s in a 30cm pot I think, just about as wide as it and maybe 20cm fall. But I’m constantly hacking at it so expect it should be a fair bit bigger 😂

@pelly they’re a great contrast 💛 they are curled before they straighten out, can see if you scroll back one photo 😛

Got to get one of these next year

So pretty. It looks like a pinwheel

Beautiful, will it have many flowers. Is it heavily scented.

@gjones they’re so perfect when they open 🤍 this one is highly perfumed. Can smell it just walking past 😍

@jeatacake would be a nice addition to your garden and it does so well outdoors 💚

@laketitlow it really does 😛 could waft its fragrance if it was! 😂

@cyndi thank you Cyndi ☺️

@alan1111 it has lots of buds so I’m hoping for a good display. But the flowers rarely ever open at the same time 😜 it smells beautiful, even from a few feet away 😋

Sounds lovely, I'm a bit envious. I ordered one about six months ago it was a little more than a cutting 😕 it did nothing but deteriorate I only gave up on it recently

Cute flower 😊

Really? Even in winter? 😲

Very pretty !

@gjones thank you Katy 😊 have a few buds just about to open but every time they do we get a frost and they turn brown 😂

@kaporyash thank you Yash ☺️

@gjones it is but have been lucky with things flowering so far so can’t complain too much 😛

Such simple beauty 😍😍

@pelly classy looking things 💛 and the scent 😍

Can smell it just looking at your pic. Beautiful

Oh...that looks like bananas and ice cream in the middle....sorry Kerry it’s my warped mind....it’s beautiful...

So beautiful 😍

@gjones thanks Katy 😀 it’s putting on a show at the moment 😍

@RMCollen it really does smell amazing 😍 thanks Rebecca 😁

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom I see that too! Like a fancy banana split 😋

@jeatacake thank you muchly Jeff 😄

So tropical looking, even in October 😍

Beautiful....💛

@gjones the scent is amazing 😍 the whole plant is covered now and even though the flowers are badly damaged from the rain, it still smells sooo good 😋

@jeatacake it’s a welcome sight at the moment 💚

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom thanks Elaine 😁 it looks great in the rare moment it stops raining 😂

@gjones it is, almost solid for a month. Everywhere else in the country is getting dry days and sunshine but not happening here 😣

@gjones me too, the latter part of the week isn’t looking too bad. Hopefully stays dry just long enough to get everything sorted for winter. Mostly cutting back drowned annuals now 🤣

What’s that pretty smell?!?!?!?!! Lucky you😊💕

@terrimclaughlin was the smell I noticed before I found the hidden flower 😛 isn’t it a gorgeous scent 😋

@gjones much bigger than they look too. And the scent is amazing 😋 love this little plant

@gjones it’s such a heavy scent, amazing how much one little plant can throw off 💚

Got to get one of these 😃

@jeatacake you have 😉 a great little plant and looks good year-round. Worth every penny 😁

I've never had one of these but I beleive they're verh highly scented 👌

@jeatacake oh it smells so good! And it’s quite powerful considering there’s only one flower open! Such a great little plant, always looking glossy and attractive 💚

Sounds wonderful 😊 Do you have it indoors?

@jeatacake it’s always been outdoors. Survived some awful weather and still standing strong 🤞🏻

Here's to it having many more flowers to come 🥂

@jeatacake I’ll cheers to that! 🥂

That's so pretty 😊😊

@midnightgardener thank you Christine 😊

@gjones isn’t she 😁 so elegant I think. It has a slight fragrance now but not too strong yet

Very pretty 😍😍

@pelly thank you Jane ☺️ love how they open up 💚

@gjones I can’t wait, the flowers smell so good 😋

@gjones are they a plant that can’t tolerate your winters?

@gjones that is a shame 😟 but candles give you the scent at least 😋

Aww I can almost smell it 😍😄 Does it survive your winters, Kerry? Or do you take it somewhere indoors?

@natii it’s almost open now 😋 I think I’m supposed to bring it indoors but it’s survived 2 winters outside already 😁

Oh I didn't expect that 😳😅

@natii hopefully it’s been made hardy now 🤣

Looks like it is 🤣 Fingers crossed that it stays that tough 🤞🏽😋

@natii hopefully I’ve not jinxed it now 🤣🤣🤣

@gjones thank you ☺️ it’s really coming on nicely this year! I’ve had it outside over 2 winters now and it’s done well so think he’s hardened to outdoor life 😂 sometimes a forgetful mind works out ok 🤣

@gjones he stays in the garden. It’s quite protected though and south facing so gets as much sun as is possible in the winter 😂 frosts here aren’t usually too bad or too long lasting thankfully 🤞🏼

@gjones it’s loaded isn’t it 😁😁😁 it’s never flowered like this before. Maybe 2 open at the same time and a few buds follow but nothing like it is now. I love it 🖤 but the flowers are so quick to spoil 😫

Very Pretty

@gjones they take an eternity to open but when then do it’s worth the wait 😊
