Waiting for this one to bloom

I am fixing to head outdoors but wanted to throw up a post before I go out for awhile. This is one of the lilies that I bought last year from Lowes for $1.00. It is loaded with buds this spring. I am anxiously waiting for it to bloom. I think this will happen possibly next week. This is the only lily I have with several buds on it right now. I do believe this one is yellow. We will see for sure when it blooms. What are you waiting for to bloom in your yard/garden? © 2020 Karen Gros; All rights reserved

I posted last week the new 6 potted plants I put seeds in--they are growing nicely! I just sit here patiently every day looking at them and shout "BLOOM!"

That is the key, being patient.

My Forsythia is blooming right now. Waiting for the Bleeding Hearts, the Bridal Wreath to bloom and others.

Can you post a photo of your Forsythia blooming? There is a plant in town that I've been trying to identify and Forsythia was one of the things I came up with.

Oh - pretty - and not bad for $1! I love nursing clearance plants - I have some that we got inexpensively as well. We had a dinky hibiscus that I didn't think would make it, but it's been blooming for over a month now - and it appears that more blooms are coming !

That is awesome! This store over buys and perfectly fine plants are reduced! I'm itching to go see what they have right now but trying to stay home like we are supposed to!

@kareng Love those reduced plants - great that you can take advantage of the over stock! I did go suppy shopping but I didn't have a chance to look at the gardening area . . . I just wanted to run in, get my stuff, and run out!

@much2say I don't blame you. I really don't want to go anywhere. I got hubby to pick up our grocery order so I didn't get to pop in and check them out. If I had to go pick up the groceries, I would have. haha

I haven't done so yet, but I'm hoping to plant some rose bushes in the next week or so.

Awesome! I can remember long ago when a certain boyfriend would go cut roses out of his mother's flower bed and bring to me. She suggested it the first time and he just kinds kept the routine going. LOL.

@kareng I used to sneak in people's yards and cut their beautiful flowers and present them to my girlfriend. She loved the variety of flowers I would always bring home! haha

I hope it blooms soon. My potted plant only blooms once a year and it has two buds on it now.

It bloomed the day it was storming and the petals of the flower were not pretty. It got beat up pretty bad. We should have more flowers this week.

I love lilies! I’m waiting to go north to see what’s in bloom and what has bloomed while I was away.

It does and I am finally getting a bunch on another lily! It looks like they are going to be staggered with blooming this year. A bloom only last one day so looking just about at a bloom a day for some time. I hope so anyway!

I have them in the front and last year the wind blew the seeds and I have new ones scattered in the yard. They will be pretty this year when they bloom!

Last time I checked that was the only one with buds. I may have one pot blooming at a time this year.
