- Today I like to show you our heavenly fragrant Gardenia jasminoides 'Radicans' that we do have in front of our home and on the side where the bay window of our kitchen is.
- By mid May they were in full bloom and we took several pictures of our different varieties, which I will post later.
- Shown is the 'Radicans' and also the dwarf 'Radicans' Gardenia ←(click it). Come join me on this fragrant Garden Tour
- This photo is from 1993 when we still had the regular Gardenia jasminoides Radicans in front of our veranda windows. Beautiful Fleur de Lys edging and scroll work from Vintage Woodworks, Texas.
- We had to remove them, as they were blocking the view!
- The dwarf variety we did keep however.
- Those planter boxes are the little ones we had before buying the fiberglass window boxes.
- The azaleas in the front are all replaced by dwarf Gardenia jasminoides 'Radicans'. The front porch shows also the same Fleur de Lys edging and ginger bread, balusters and posts from Vintage Woodworks, Texas.
- This photo I took on May 17 as they were in full bloom. The smell is heavenly! You can see now clearly {Our Fiberglass Window Boxes & Double Cascade Pink Petunias} ←(click it) that Pieter did get us, by growing cuttings from last year's crop.
- You see the blossoms fully opened and some buds for the coming days.
- Gardenia jasminoides 'Radicans' in all its splendor!

ReplyDeleteDear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteYou have such a beautiful house and garden.
1991 was the year my son was born, so in a way that was a long time ago.
I hope that you are having a lovely weekend.

ReplyDeleteVielen lieben Dank für deinen netten Kommentar!
Ja in Atlantic City war ich auch aber nur ganz kurz und auch in Phl! Das mit den Fähnchen am Briefkasten fand ich auch sooo praktisch, dass hätte ich zu gerne hier!
Ganz liebe Grüße Anja
Thank you Mariette for the kind comments you left on my blog. your home is gorgeous, I love it!! I especially like your Gardenia's. They are very difficult to grow where we live, I bought one last weekend and have a pot to plant it in. It will sit on our porch so hopefully will survive our hot Summer. I look forward to seeing more of your interesting blog. With Friendship across the miles, Ann
ReplyDeleteQue maravilla!!
ReplyDeleteTienes una casa verdaderamente preciosa!
Muchos besos!
