Walking through one of my favorite places, The Bonnet House courtyard in Ft. Lauderdale, a strong, sweet aroma beckoned toward this quiet beauty, a Gardenia in bloom. The leaves are evergreen. The beauty of the flower and it’s radiating perfume will linger quite awhile in my heart.

There is no smell of coffee here (that would be a conflicting odor) but Gardenias are part of the coffee family. Copyright 2022 Pamela Breitberg
I love the fragrance of a beautiful flower
