Last week, we took a tour of a greenhouse that included gardenias, mmmmmmmm. Their scent, mmmmmmmm. The tour guide said that gardenias are coming back into popularity. I was surprised the flower ever went out of favor.
In my mind, I'm five years old having a high old time wandering and wondering. In reality, I'm now 70, wowza! I tell you a lot of creativity is still to be found in this old young self. In you, too, whatever your age. Welcome to my barefoot world!
I think my mother loves those.. Or hates them. I can't remember which.
ReplyDeleteThat's the thing about trends
ReplyDeleteI'm usually out of the loop when it comes to trends or fads. Okay with me. :-)
DeleteAhh ... I can almost smell that wonderful flower from here. :)
ReplyDeleteYup!
DeleteWow!!!
ReplyDeleteps . . . also "wow!" on the new look your blog id sporting . . .
DeleteThanks, G!
DeleteI guess your blog didn't like my two cents about gardenias, ha. I know I never liked that kind of perfume or bubble bath as a kid and thought of it as an "old lady" scent.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you'll like it when you get to the "old lady" stage. lol
DeleteAs someone who still has clothes (and wears them) from 15 years ago, I am not one to follow fashion or trends - so I join with those who wonder how gardenias fell by the wayside - not only is the fragrance luxurious, the feel of the petals is to die for!
ReplyDeleteAngie, this afternoon I was thinking that my reliable wrinkled jean jacket with the embroidered flowers on the front is about 14 years old. I've never cared for the flowers but at $20 it was too good a deal to pass. lol
