I’m very happy today to share another season of Heather’s Garden in Michigan. Heather is married to my nephew James. Photos today by Heather Murphy. (Slight editing and mosaics by yours-truly.) Thanks again Heather for your generosity. For several weekends toward the end of May, Heather was working in the garden. First with her extensive perennials and then adding annuals. The overall effect is a lush green oasis in suburbia.

Gardenia Bush Blossoms
Gardenias are subtropical plants that thrive in warm, humid weather. Most gardenias are hardy in zones 8-11, though a few varieties hardy to zone 7 have been developed and a few are only hardy in zones 10 and 11. Gardenias can be grown in pots and brought inside in cold climates. See How To Care For Gardenias for more information.
My little gardenia bush has had three blooms this month. The first I brought into the house to the enjoy. The next week two more blossoms appeared.
