Rain, rain go away…come again some other day! We have had alot of rain the last few weeks….. I am ready to see the sun shine for a few days in a row!

I wish you could smell these pictures… the gardenias and confederate jasmine are two of my favorite blooms!

I have many gardenia bushes scattered throughout my yard….

Look at all the blooms!

image

The blooms are so pretty….

image

I have a few different varieties…. but I think many of them are called “August Beauty”……..

image

The blooms on the confederate jasmine are small…but fragrant!

image

They are hardy vines in my yard……..

image

They stay green all year…….

    Your jasmine is beautiful - I adore the way it smells! The gardenia is my other favorite, but I can't keep them alive :(

    I am officially jealous of your gardenias. I have absolutely no luck with them. They will not thrive for me, despite my most earnest research and best efforts. But I can smell 'em a mile away, it seems, so I just follow my nose to someone else's yard for a fix!

    Hey Rhoda!
    My hubby loves jasmine, but he always goes for the star jasmine. By your blossoms, it appears the confederate jasmine is heartier...maybe I should surprise him and plant some in our yard. The other is not doing well. Also, does it love lots of sun?
    I can almost smell them from here!

    Those are two of my favorite blooms too. Jasmine climbs over my parents front door, I go over and just wiff. I wish that could be bottled up. My gardenias, I noticed today, are blooming. It has been raining so much I havent gotten over to smell. Will make a point to tomorrow.

    Thanks Susan!

    One of the many wonderful things about living in the south surely must be the Gardenia. I had never experienced the aroma of Confederate Jasmine intermingled with heady gardenias until I moved to Florida. Night time seems intensify the heady scent. I am hooked.

    Hi Susan,
    The gardenias are gorgeous! I love their scent and I would love to plant some in my yard but worry about my mother's asthma. Maybe if I just put it in the front where she only has to walk past it quickly. We do have the same jasmine in our yard though but here it's called Star Jasmine! The smell in the evening is heavenly.
    I can't link in with Mr. Linky either. My permalink for this week (I chose all white as well!) is:

    Hi, Susan ...

    Your beautiful gardenias look like little miniature magnolias, and Confederate Jasmine is one of my all-time favorite plants. Your photos are lovely.

    Here is the link to my post for today ... http://southernlagniappe.blogspot.com/2009/05/small-town-house-and-garden-tour.html.

    I appreciate you giving us the opportunity to share our outdoors. I know it takes a lot of time.

    Sincerely,

    Janie

    It is Wednesday, right? I have always loved Gardenias. We had a bush beside the front door of our very first house back in the 70s. I've never tried to plant another one. I couldn't smell it anyway. We have the yellow Jasmine that blooms in early Spring. It has rained some every day here also.

    Gardenias are my very favorite flower in the whole world! We planted a bush by our deck this year, right next to the confederate jasmine - looks like you and I have similar tastes in plants. I love going out there in the late evening to smell the jasmine and have a glass of wine - so relaxing!

    Side note, but before we got married, my husband knew that gardenias were my favorite flower and tried to order a dozen from the florist to be delivered to my office for Valentine's Day! He called shortly afterward to find out if I knew they were a bush - I said, yes, they're a bush AND a flower. Bless his heart. He's made sure we've had at least one in our garden at every house we've lived in since then.

    Good Morning,
    Gosh I adore gardenias. How magnificent! The jasmine gives me an awful headache so I can't tolerate it though.

    It's been a very challenging week here at MaidenShade. Working through blog issues, thinking of possible posts - and rueing the fact I'm not visiting everyone. Please, don't forget about me; )

    Today's post is on some basics of HTML just in case that is something you're interested in. It does come in handy for working in blog posts, webpages, and listings if you have a store.

    I tried so hard to get set up and could not figure it out. I posted the logo but it wouldn't link back here. Then I didn't see where to enter my name and even though a number showed at the bottom of the list...
    Anyway...I have missed out..so removed the logo on my post so as not to confuse anyone.
