Gardenia

Gardenias are blooming again! Love the smell. Sittin out back gathering my thoughts and enjoying my plants. Missing my dad. He wouldn't want me so sad but can't help it. RIP

Beautiful love their scent

How great! Lovely bud, I look forward to seeing this open up 💚💚

@alan111 there scent is sooooo good! I'm also trying to grow a Night Blooming Jasmine. They smell amazing too. 😊

I will keep you posted Christine! Maybe tonight. I don't get to go outside to much during the day because I care for my dad. So I get mornings and late nights. @midnightgardener

@suzieshadow1227gmailcom Oh bless you, it's a hard job, sorry, it can be. I cared for my mum and even though I enjoyed it, she was difficult to look after. I hope your dad's alright. ♥️♥️

@midnightgardener Yes Christine it can be really hard but I also wouldn't want him in a home either. I'm a nurse and have trouble letting other people care for him lol. Control thing haha. He can be stubborn to at times but it's really nice spending quality time with him. He was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer and not getting treatment. So,well I don't know what to think sometimes. #oneminuteatatime

@suzieshadow1227gmailcom Oh no, that is very sad. I hope he's comfortable and ok when you see him next 😓

@midnightgardener I moved him in with me. He lived alone in Idaho and I'm in California.

@midnightgardener so gardening has become my escape, relaxing and me time. 😊💚🌿🌺🌸🌼🌻

@suzieshadow1227gmailcom Yes, gardening is a saviour, especially in times like these. Heaven knows what we'd do without them ♥️♥️
