| I just found this in China. The flower is large and of rose shape. The best value is that it retains the complete center which has the potential for more petals.

| Very nice, especially in that pot! I wonder if the average gardener would notice the difference between this one and a semi-double gardenia, but it definitely has potential! Jim |

Very nice. And this is a species from china? I've been playing with hybridizing cold hardy gardenia. All of my gardenias displayed some cold damage from the 0 F we had this winter, except for one Daisy x Mystery seedling of mine. One I ordered named 'Frost Proof' was completely defoliated (ha!).
I have hundreds of Daisy x Chuck Hayes & Chuck Hayes x Daisy seedlings coming up right now. This year it's gonna be Chuck Hayes x Mystery. |
