<p>This thread is making me crazy. I was one of the closet Googlers, since this looks familiar to me as well and since my mother had an immense gardenia bush she used to pour pickle and olive brine on. (They like that, apparently.) Someone PLEASE find this out!</p>
<p>"I have a fondness for large envelopes. Like hope for the future, they make me happy. I make hourly pilgrimages to my mailbox, hoping to see a velvet-like sheen or the emblazoned word “Congratulations!” therein. I smile and say, “If I don’t live through the next few weeks, cover me with gardenias.”</p>
