LAST GARDENIA


My Gardenia plant is about 10 years old. It blooms twice a year and when it does bloom, the plant is coverd. It is in the flower bed right next to the front door and when it blooms, the fragrance is so strong, you can smell it every time you go in or out the door. This is the very last flower left after the plant bloomed this time. It looked so proud, I just had to take a picture. The sad thing is, the very next day it had already died and dried up. All things pass away in this life...
