Hi Alice, Your gardenia is beautiful...Just to let you know, we are planning a three day trip in the next couple of weeks...my sister is a college professor and had to wait to see what her schedule was...she just got it so now we can plan...Gardenias mean a great deal to me....when my 26 year old nephew was a little guy he would get all fired up and call people "boney or fish head". in his real "mad at you" voice..he thought this was really something...so I told him calling me "precious gardenia" was really "bad" and to never call me that...well of course when he would get wound up...he would look me in the eye, puff up his chest and in his meanest voice growl at me and say "You, you, precious gardenia"...he never knew till many years later that I had gotten the best of him!!!!! On his wedding day almost two years ago, as he went to stand at the front of the church to wait for his bride...he came to me with a clear corsage box that held the biggest most beautiful gardenia I had ever seen...he bent over kissed me and handed it to...I wore it proudly all day...I later dried it and have stored it away as a memento...So it would seem our nephews share a common gardenia "thing"...I hope your gardenia blooms profusely and the fragrance fills your home....Beth
