Phone Photography Contest- #106: GARDENIA (Cape Jasmine - Alike)
Happy new month of April friends of #feel #good and hivers who loves to have fun 馃ぉ,
Am happy to have time to participate again in this round of contest. Thanks to dear @untilwelearn for the fun 馃ぉ through this amazing contest he organizes
A few days ago I was inspecting an apartment for a client who said he will love 鉂わ笍 to live in a place with a compound filled with loving nature atmosphere and flowers 馃拹 when I came across this beautiful shrub with loving white flowers called #GARDENIA
What attracted me to this plant 馃尡 is how glossy dark green the leaves 馃崈feels and the white layered /rosette like - flowers just of four to five inches in diameter. I love shrubs like this because they are above the ground level and can reach ten to twelve feet high, but in warmer climates and with pruning happily stay lovingly 馃尦.
Gardenia are shrubs that produce white flowers of four to five inches in diameter and they flower from late spring to early summer. This shrub Gardenia I learnt need more maintenance than other plants 馃尡 as they are prone to mildew, leafy 馃崈 spots, anthracnose, mold, scales, mealy bugs 馃悳馃悰and spider mites
However, gardenia likes clay, loam and sandy soil. The soil should also be moist and well-drained. They need plenty of sunlight and likes the morning sun 鉀咃笍 and afternoon shade . Truly a creamy flower buds that makes one feels good .
Hope you enjoyed reading friends 馃槏
Best Regards
