well at least for now, until I get something else.
Last weekend went to the Garden festival at Heathcote Botanical Gardens in Ft Pierce (FL). Saw LOTS of stuff I liked and LOTS of stuff I don't have room for.
I ended up bringing home a really nice Vietnamese gardenia.

Blooms are about 4 inches across, nicely fragrant, not overwhelming like the regular gardenia's in my yard. Plant will get about 5-6 feet tall.

One of my favorite fragrances, but as you said it can be overwhelming.
