Gardenia
Sultry as a summer evening and as intoxicating as an exotic perfume, the scent of gardenias settles like a memory onto your soul.
Gardenias originated in the Orient but are named in honor of a Southerner, Dr. Alexander Garden, an 18th-century botanist and physician from Charleston, South Carolina
Jazz singer Billie Holiday considered gardenias to be her signature flower and wore them in her hair whenever she performed.
