Signature Scent of Southern Nymphs

The gardenia is a signature scent of the South, and my gardenia just bloomed in the garden. Above is a gardenia from my garden - that breathtaking white bloom, velvet like in texture and heavy with scent. The gardenia is different from most white flowers in that it does have such an in-your-face smell, completely unlike the typical light, fresh smell of white flowers. No innocence here. The gardenia invites you to light some garden candles, strip and run through the sprinkler singing the song of nymphs...do you know what that is?
