The flowers are very pretty and I can almost feel their smell. I got this link from a garden friend Asha. Wanted to know the name of this flower in Malayam and got to know that. I too am trying to grow this now. Hopefully will get such lovely flowers like yours. Sumathy Hi Indira,

I have a few of these in my garden but they flower occasionally, and barely 1 or 2 flower per plant. Can you tell me where you have planted them (shade, sunny location) how much water you give and which fertilizer you use? Thanks! Anupama Dear Indira,

My grand uncle used to have those in his yard. In the swing which they had inside the house the aunt used to sit and string them for puja and us children to wreathe on our braids. Your picture is so evocative of those carefree and idyllic times. They are called Sugandha Raj in Kerala.

Thanks for the appreciative notes. Smita: Anantha Pushpa, what a beautiful name! I don't know it's Telugu name, infact I don't remember seeing gardenias growing up in Nandyala.
