Some of them you listed are new to me.<br /><br />NanaK: I also used the cuttings of the diamond frost to put infront of the rose bushes to hide some bare branches. It is pretty and tough :)<br /><br />FloridaGirl: If I have that magnolia in my garden, that surely will be my favorite white as well!<br /><br />Rosie: I know what you mean about it turns to brown quickly. Fortunetely I now have dozens of them, so always have some with pure white and nice smell to enjoy.<br /><br />Sanddune: Do you put your gardenia in the full sun? Mine is in full sun. But again, maybe yours is different type. <br /><br />AfrincanAussie: Oh, yes, I love whites! If I have more space, I want a moonlight garden with all whites!<br /><br />Andrea: Thanks for letting me know that Jasminum sambac is the National Flower of the Philippines. It is always nice to know the flower I love is also treasured by others.<br /><br />Noel: Great idea! That way you can enjoy the gardenia even more!<br /><br />Susan: Just saw your post about your white begonia and gardenia. They are so nice! I love your idea of putting the gardenia into the bowl and put indoor. Same idea that Noel also mentioned. So I just cut 5 gardenias today to put them in a bowl with water. Hmm, smell so nice! thanks!Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744078497819915126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867788905122040228.post-22932684201353852792010-05-07T13:53:59.665-04:002010-05-07T13:53:59.665-04:00Those white flowers make me feel so much cooler in...Those white flowers make me feel so much cooler in this hot weather.

I would like to inform you that Jasminum sambac is the National Flower of the Philippines and we call it "sampaguita". It looks like most of your plants have scents, so it really feels good to mingle in them. I can smell them this far!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867788905122040228.post-52045241614671249382010-05-06T19:29:25.906-04:002010-05-06T19:29:25.906-04:00Hi Ami, Oh now I see why you said you like white f...Hi Ami, Oh now I see why you said you like white flowers!

I just bought a gardenia tree and it is opening buds and smelling wonderful. Yours seems very happy. I haven't planted mine yet; it's still in the pot.
