“Summer Fragrance” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © A gardenia bud beginning to bloom. “Oh! To be a flower nodding in the sun, / Bending, then upspringing as the breezes run; / Holding up a scent-brimmed cup, / Full of summer’s fragrance to the summer sun.” / ~ Amy Lowell

Sometimes a flower or a bouquet just isn’t enough, so here’s a garden full of blossoms—just for YOU! Can you find the buttercup, four roses, the gardenia, the oleander, the three zinnias, the three altheas, the agapanthus, the black-eyed susan, and the verbena?

Gardenia flowers have a beautiful sweet scent. The flowers can be white or yellow and are produced singly or in semi-double and double forms along or at the ends of branches. The perfume from this flower filled the house for almost a week – it was beautiful. This photo is currently featured in the group “Simply White” on RedBubble.

A few of us of a certain vintage may remember this Tutor … ?! My neighbour was so bemused at my attempts to photograph his dying Gardenias that he picked me a whole bunch! They have the most wonderful cream and coffee tones … I thought they suited this old manuscript. Treated in CS3 for a more vintage effect and an overlay blended of rumpled paper.

Placed in the Top Ten in the Water Drops on White challenge in the Simply White group – 7/25/09 / Placed in the Top Ten in the Flowers [White] challenge in the Made by Nature group – 5/21/09 / Featured in Outsiders – 5/9/09 / Gardenia is a genus of about 250 species of flowering plants in the coffee family, Rubiaceae, native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, southern Asia, Australia and Oceania. Several species occur on Hawaii, where gardenias are known as naʻu or nānū. The genus was named by Carl Linnaeus after Dr. Alexander Garden (1730-1791), a Scottish-born American naturalist. They are evergreen shrubs and small trees growing to 1–15 meters (3.3–49 ft) tall. The leaves are opposite or in whorls of three or four, 5–50 centimeters (2.0–20 in) long and 3–25 centimeters (1.2–9.8 in) broad, dark green and glossy with a leathery texture. The flowers are solitary or in small clusters, white, or pale yellow, with a tubular-based corolla with 5-12 lobes (petals) from 5–12 centimeters (2.0–4.7 in) diameter. Flowering is from about mid-spring to mid-summer and many species are strongly scented. Cultivation and uses Gardenia plants are prized for the strong sweet scent of their flowers, which can be very large in some species. Gardenia jasminoides (syn. G. grandiflora, G. florida) is cultivated as a house plant. This species can be difficult to grow because it originated in warm humid tropical areas. It demands high humidity to thrive and bright (not direct) light. It flourishes in acidic soils with good drainage and thrives on [68-74 F temperatures (20-23 C) during the day and 60 F (15-16 C) in the evening. Potting soils developed especially for gardenias are available. G. jasminoides grows no larger than than 18 inches in height and width when grown indoors. In climates where it can be grown outdoors, it can attain a height of 6 feet. If water hits the flowers, they will turn brown. In Japan and China, Gardenia jasminoides is called Kuchinashi (Japanese) and Zhi zi (Chinese 梔子); the bloom is used as a yellow dye, which is used for clothes and food (including the Korean mung bean jelly called hwangpomuk). Polynesian people in the pacific islands use these extremely fragrant blooms in their flower necklaces, which are called “Ei” in the Cook Islands and Tahiti or “Lei” in Hawaii.
