Gardenia perfume

I have two gardenia hedges in flower at the moment - both different types of gardenias but each with a beautiful perfume. This one has sort of star shaped flowers and looks so healthy.  I went for a walk this morning at Kalinga Park  There were signs of recent flooding there with debris caught on trees at the height of the path.  Otherwise it was just as always with the smell of barbqs and boys in the creek finding tadpoles.
When I got back home I had a swim...........

 the house next door continues to grow and is certainly taking away a lot of light from my dining room.  At least the bricks have been rendered.......  Can you see the "portico"?  they must be rich!!!!!
