Favorite Flower of the Moment

Ahhh the lovely Tuberose (pronounced TO-ber-oze, not tube-rose). I went to the Santa Monica Farmer's Market on Wednesday and kept smelling the most delicious scent. It reminded me of Gardenias, but they were no where to be found.

Finally, I stopped by the flower stall and asked them what was that most delicious scent I kept smelling?! The man immediately knew what I was after and waved me towards the tuberoses. Seriously, I could not believe it. They looked so ... well, boring. Who knew that they could give such a beautiful gift for days to come?!
This is a Gardenia. It's not a bulb as the tuberose is but a bush. They also smell wonderful.

So I bought some. They were worth every penny. I put them on the dining room table and I'm greeted with the most wonderful scent each time I enter the house, sit at the computer, watch the TV or walk to the bedrooms.

They are in bloom in late summer. So if you haven't had the time to pick some up at the market -- I highly recommend it. I'm going back on Wednesday to buy a LOT more!!

Enjoy!
