A girl and her gardenia

Yesterday: High: 94, Low: 77, no rain

Let me tell you a little story. Once upon a time there was a little girl . . . Naw, that’s not how the story goes. It’s more of a Cliff’s Notes kind of a story. Girl moves into new home with her parents. Home has huge forest-like backyard with lots of cool bushes in backyard. Mom didn’t know and girl didn’t know, but quite a few were small gardenias. They didn’t bloom for over 5 years though, so no one knew that’s what they were. Then they bloomed. At first just a few flowers. Then over the next five years, more and more and more blooms came, until now during May, the whole backyard is bathed in perfumy white.
