The calendar shows the end of May and the official start of summer is celebrated. In the garden that is shown by the first flush of the gardenias. These dark green, glossy leaves make for a lovely evergreen bush, but the flowers are perfect! They are pure white and very fragrant which stand out beautifully against the foliage.

These bushes make a lovely place to sit and read on warm, humid southern summer days. I spent way to long reading here yesterday.
