Gardenia ???

Post by Shinkitai »

20121111_141035.jpg
I picked up this plant from the nursery today as I liked the small flowers. It was behind the Gardenia Florida sign (I have no idea about gardenia's). On getting home and looking it up on the internet the flowers look nothing like Florida. I found some pics of the gardenia vietnamensis flowers which look the same but the description says these flowers are large up to 3 inches.

Any idea what it could be? Is there a dwarf vietnamensis?
