Gardenia flowers are mostly scented and normally blossoming between December to March or between early summer and mid-autumn.
In our backyard we have three kinds of Gardenia plants. They are Gardenia True Love, Gardenia Florida, and Gardenia Professor.

Some Gardenia Florida flowers’ shapes may look like a cross shaped.

The Gardenia Professor has smaller flower shape compared to the two of their relative Gardenia. It is a rose-like flower compared to the Florida type.
