As I sit on the Lanai, there is the most wonderful aroma that drifts to me on a gentle breeze. It is hard to describe, but I know it is the beautiful blooms of my gardenia tree that sits just outside my courtyard. The fragrance is hard to describe, but once you smell it...you will always remember it. The waxy, gardenia blossom is a swirl of blinding white, and is at once pure and sensual.
