Gardenia

A heady, incredible floral, gardenia is intoxicating, sultry and not at all shy. Yet gardenia's light and strength is as that of the moon and the ocean, ever present, but softly so. It is associated with healing in the sense of offering a quiet strength especially during the convalsescence stage. It promotes a quiet confidence and self assurance. It is also associated with Venus, and thus is used in magical acts related to love.
