Congrats! There is a double hybrid called 'Heaven Scent'. I'm assuming that's what you found? How's the scent?
Your story of running for a basket made me laugh. I'm always thrilled when I actually come across a desirable, fragrant plant when I least expect it. ;)

Hi Robert,

Yes, upon further investigation this is the new double Tahitian gardenia. I did google new Tahitian gardenia double and got what I was looking for. I am so jaded now and these are the dregs of summer in Florida...very uninspiring and not much of a garden spirit in this heat. But....when u see something you have never seen before...it is like kid in the candy store all over again...here is a post from someone on another site...

If you love jasmines and gardenias, and you do not own this plant, get it! I mean, get the double! I think it is even more exciting than the Duke of Tuscany Sambac. Really. The flowers are massive and the leaves are leathery, healthy, and darkish green. Large plants can be expensive, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime plant to own. Mine went for 85 bucks, but is is huge...oh, I live in Puerto Rico and has anyone had luck with clippings?

Also, in the market for trades of rare, scented plant rooted clippings and seeds...

Awesome! I grew both the single and double Tahitian gardenia last year from a mail order purchase. They didnt handle the cold here too well and croaked.

One of them produced a single flower but I wasn't sure if it was actually the single or double cultivar since I mixed up the tags. And supposedly even the double can produce single flowers.

The scent of it was like a common gardenia but more pungent, herbal/spicy. I prefer the common gardenia over it though.

I love the leaves though, they're so attractive. :)
