Gardenia with starfish centre

A nearby street through which I walked this morning is big on gardenias. Most are the complex type but one was this unusual single. Regardless, they all have a great scent and after the rain they look beautiful. No brown bits.

Then on the way home the magnolia I observe daily had opened fully to reveal a magnificent centre - see extra.

Nature is bountiful right now. Today I harvested our forest of basil and shared it around the neighbourhood.
