I'm sure it's possible that there is a more beautiful Flower with an aroma more heavenly than a gardenia. It's a big world and there are over 400,000 flowering plants.

Perhaps in the Amazon Rain Forest, there are blossoms that put the gardenia to shame.  I've heard that Bali and Hawaii have remarkable bloom'age (is that a word?)

This much I can say for sure. In Empire, Alabama in May of 2019. There are no flowers that can hold a candle to our gardenias.
