it produces like mad. They look like littlle fat white roses, doubled and
tripled, and smell divine--like gardenia splashed with citrus.

People grow gardenias indoors, 'though I don't know if they're useful
as dried sachet ingredients. My own gardenia bush is in bloom now. So
vexing -- 8' bush with flowers all over it, but just for 2 weeks or
so. If only it could put them out 2 at a time all summer -- now *that*
would be a Gardenia!

I have absolutely no success with potted gardenias. They look wonderful and
just before blooming, the flower bud fall off.
