Gardenias
I have always loved gardenias.
When John and I were married in 1985, I carried a gardenia bouquet and had a gardenia in my hair. John’s boutinniere was a gardenia.
In six days (on May 12th) I will be five years without John. I’m sure it’ll be a day of reflection, but I have obviously learned how to get by.
I just ordered two gardenia plants to go on my lanai which will be delivered that day. i know I can’t be closed up in the house with them because I’ve become sensitive/allegic to their lovely aroma. But the lanai will be a perfect place.
