Christmas Day Gardenia jasminiodes ‘Veitchia’ Flower


Christmas Day Gardenia jasminiodes ‘Veitchia’ Flower (Gardenia jasminoides (Cape jasmine))

My Gardenia was blooming this Christmas morning when I walked outside. My two Gardenia shrubs are full of buds right now. The weather here in San Diego, CA. has been warm to very warm and dry the last two months. Photo taken December 25, 2023.

Yes, very beautiful, sweet Gardenia fragrance. I saw on Christmas Eve the flower bud was starting to open.

It opened completely later in the day. The next day I picked it to bring it indoors. I love Gardenia fragrance indoors!

Balcony,

It was a beauty Christmas gift!

There’s lots of buds on all my Gardenia plants now. They all should be opening soon.
