Yellow

Subjugated by darkness and dull drone of a midnight torrent, my mind wandered off to a coronal cartwheel that swirled with bursts of imperial yellow and perfumed with a cheerful tinge of fruit that had yet to form.

It felt like a new sunny morning already.

Gardenia gjellerupii is a smallish tree with nice mango fragrance bloom.

i'm very partial to anything yellow. Maybe because (to me) it symbolizes the warmth of the sun, cheerful and bright moods, or the simple honesty of being up front -- and this yellow is delicious... almost edible in its richness.

Your photographs are so decadent. i can feast my eyes on any of your pictures, become sated and yet not gain an ounce of fat... just much more appreciation for GOD's diverse creations, which you captured so wonderfully. Thanks for sharing you "eye"!

Apparently Gardenia carinata has drooping flowers, and this one is upright. They do look very similar but I do not a carinata to compare.
