of those three flowers, too. I have a lemon tree with blossoms that smell as good as orange blossoms, and I have jasmine that grows well. However, I have tried and tried to get gardenias to grow in my yard or in pots, but they have always died after a while. I’d give anything to be able to grow them. I know the soil in my yard (in Central Texas) isn’t the kind of soil that gardenias love, but even when I add acid to the soil, the plants die. I guess it is a combination of weather and soil. It can be awfully hot and dry in my area.
