your gardenia bush is so full.
It busted its britches this year.

By the time I rounded up a camera there were lots of dead blooms already. That's the sad thing about Gardenias. They don't bloom for very long. That may be a good thing since a body could stay 'drunk' on that delicious aroma.

I have some cuttings rooting in a pot as we speak to put in my backyard so I can 'get drunk' back there, too.

Gonna cut it back this fall. It's gettin' unruly.
