This haiku makes me feel like I'm holding gardenia. As a child, I was given a children's perfume that had the smell of gardenia. I can still imagine it. This is a haiku full of memories.

Yes, the prolific blooms are beginning to turn yellow then brown, and it is sad to see them slowing fade away. Thank you for sharing this one with us. I enjoyed reading it. Sara K

So quickly they fade, but so glad that we had time to enjoy them. Thank you, Sara!
