Remember how excited I was when that first flower bloomed!
In that thread a few people asked for follow up pictures when there were more flowers in bloom...well there are now more flowers in bloom.
Right now about 1/3 of the buds have flowered.

I am also very excited today because my first bird of paradise flower bloomed enough for me to cut and put in a vase.
My goodness! May has GOT to be my favorite time of year.

Red it does smell wonderful!
Sitting outside, drinking iced tea...watching the sunset while smelling the gardenia's....I honestly don't know if life gets better than that.
Cheesy, yes I know!

Its one thing I can't do...I still ask for iced tea in resteraunts and sometimes I get the oddest looks when the waiter/waitress does not know what I am talking about.


eta Darren always has to say "sweet tea" cause then I look at them like they don't know what they are doing and we just sit staring at each other for ten-30 seconds. Its a good thing my honey interjects otherwise I have no idea how long we would sit there.

I love Gardenias, how pretty. Do you live on the island? I didn't know the weather would be right here.

Ahh now I see the "Sweet tea" reference, so you don't live here?

In a few weeks when the birds of paradise are in full bloom I will post some of those as well.

This morning after taking this picture, i went and cut 35 off and gave one to each member of my department.

Our whole floor smells like these flowers and I am in heaven!!
