Gardenia – Inside!
by admin on May.01, 2014, under Images
Some nasty weather over the last few days in central North Carolina but nothing compared to what some are facing in Oklahoma and Arkansas and out nearer the coast of NC. Tornadoes cause death and destruction of property and flooding can do the same. Never take storm warnings for granted – they could save your life.
I’ve moved most of the plants inside that might have been damaged by hail and/or wind, but the Gardenia has been safe and sound inside since Fall 2014. It continues to bloom – with a new flower or two each day – and with around 20 buds that have yet to open, I call this plant a major success and a good start to the growing season!
I’m even having more success than usual with my Christmas Poinsettia – which you can see right behind the Gardenia. I’m amazed that on 1 May, it still has as many red leaves as it does – this is a new record for me!

Every once in awhile gardening efforts really pay off – and prove they are always worth it…
