She called it a "May Basket" and would slip the handle of the basket filled with Spring flowers on the door knob of their house or room.
Since I can't hang a basket of Spring flowers on your door knobs, I thought of sharing my Gardenias with all of you.
The Gardenia bush has started to fade... literally a hundred blooms came and went in about 6 days. Today I brought in as many as I could save into the house.
This is one flowering bush I wish would bloom all summer long. But as we all know Mother Nature has chosen only a short time during the Spring to display these wonderful flowers.
I have the vase of these beautiful flowers standing on my desk and the fragrance is overwhelming at first, but such a
lovely smell.

The gardenias are beautiful. That was my mother in law's favorite flower. She always wore a gardenia scented perfume that had a very light fragrance.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy,
ReplyDeleteHappy May Day to you, too. Your gardenias are beautiful. I wish we had more flowers blooming around here right now. We're just now getting some buds on the trees.
Enjoy your May Day!
