Gardenia: Secret love, You are lovely


The flower symbolism associated with the gardenia is you're lovely, secret love, purity and refinement. Gardenia plants are prized for the strong sweet scent of their flowers, which can be very large in some species. Gardenias are in the coffee family and are native to Africa, Asia, Australasia and Oceana. Gardenias also grow in Hawaii. They are shrubs or small trees. The English name is derived from the flower name, meaning simply "garden flower."
