Gardenia

Last week on our nature walk we saw a Gardenia plant covered with unopened flowers. I told the girls we should check it out when we came back to see if they bloomed. Then I charged Sparkle with the job of remembering and reminding us. (Telling the girls that it's their job to remember is one of my favorite tricks.)

Sure enough, yesterday Sparkle remembers that we were supposed to look at the Gardenia and it was in full bloom. Here is Glitter looking at the plant and pointing to an unopened flower. They smelled thick and perfume-y. Next week we'll have to go back and see what the plant looks like.


Side note: we went on a nature walk at a local forest today, and Sparkle noticed another Gardenia in bloom near the office. This girl has her daddy's talent for plants.
