Let me introduce you to a lovely flower. It is called a gardenia. It is a very pretty flower that smells sweet and looks bright and healthy!

This gardenia has fully opened. The petals are white or creamy white. They look soft and smooth, like silk. They curl and twist a little at the edges, making the flower look like a beautiful spiral or a white star.

The leaves are a bright, shiny green – like they have been polished! They are thick and smooth, and they look very healthy. The stem is also green and strong. It holds the flower up straight, so it can catch the sunlight.

Gardenias grow on small bushes in warm places. They like sunshine and water, but not too much of either. They are often found in gardens or in pots on balconies.

The gardenia has a wonderful smell – very sweet and gentle. It is one of the sweetest-smelling flowers in the world! People love to plant gardenias near windows so the nice smell comes into their homes.

The whole plant looks full of life – strong and happy! If you also love gardenias, follow the step-by-step instructions below to learn how to draw one!
