A to Z Herbarium: Zhi Zi

Hi Sara – I love the gardenia … so it’s good to read about its properties … we probably all need a good sprinkling of gardenia magic just now – cheers and congratulations on an interesting topic … Hilary

That’s a pretty looking gardenia.
Thanks for an interesting topic, Sara!

I have half a dozen gardenias in my yard. I didn’t know they were good for all this, but I love smelling them, they make me happy. The spring down here is a feast of senses (I love riding a bicycle in the early evening and smelling the jasmine).

A great A-Z theme in which I learned a lot. Thanks for all your work in making this come together.

I know what you mean about bittersweet endings. This flower always reminds me of singer Billie Holiday, who wore a gardenia behind her ear when performing — we could end A to Z with one of her songs 🙂 Congratulations on finishing the A to Z Challenge and thanks for visiting/commenting on my blog! Hope to stay in touch during the year.

This has been a great series. I need to go back and re-read them all. Congratulations on an A-Z job well done.

What a perfect ending to a delightful series. I’ve so enjoyed my daily visits. Thank you so much for spending so much time in the odd little village of Amble Bay. The locals will really miss you I’m sure.

Z- It’s farewell to Amble Bay!

Wow. I never knew gardenias had medical benefits. Is Zhi zi a specific type or the Chinese word for gardenias?

Real life kicked me in the butt. I’ll have to go back and read the posts I missed because the ones I read were all fascinating.

“Zhi Zi.” I was thinking to myself, what in the world is Zhi Zi. Gardenia, good to know. Another enjoyable post to read. Thanks for all the wonderful plant/herb information I really enjoyed learning it. I am excited to be following you future posts.

Ooh, Zhi Zi tea sounds like it’s just the thing for me (love the Chinese name) 😉 Thanks for sharing all the interesting herbs this month – especially with a folklore twist 🙂

Zhi Zi is a lovely word for the always lovely gardenia. I’ve quite enjoyed your series Sara – thank you!

Yay, we’ve reached the end, congrats for making it 🙂

Gardenia sounds like a really helpful flower both in the physical and psychical realms.

Thanks so much Sara for your always interesting posts! Well done on crossing over the finishing line! Am sure you had a few herbs and spells to help in this magical series. The gardenia is such a pretty flower and it’s scent is divine. I have one in my garden ..

Such a pretty name for such a pretty flower that smells divine, almost intoxicating. I can see why it would be used in love magic.
I didn’t know there is such a thing as Gardenia tea.
Thank you for your posts Sara. I love growing herbs and using them. And I guess, I can always check your blog if I ever need any herb related information.
Z is for Zagreb and Zindagi

I really love the gardenia as a flower, it has a lovely smell. And i didn’t know you can brew a tea with it!!

And so, we made it to the end this year too, in one piece. That’s a fit, isn’t it? 😉
I really enjoyed your posts, very informative. I’m sure I’ll reference back to them in th future.
Thanks so much for sharing.

Didn’t know there was another name for gardenia. Sounds like it has lovely, restorative properties. Congrats on getting to the end of the Challenge – I really enjoyed your fascinating posts!

Oh, I adore gardenias. They make my summer evenings fragrant with memories!
Congratulations of completing the Challenge. Enjoyed going through your blog!
