Lilies and Gnome

My sister sent me some money for my April birthday and I treated myself to two garden things.

Above is the photo of the 3 Electric Blue Spider Lily bulbs I bought with birthday money from my sister. I planted them in a very large pot and we will wait and see the results. As of 30 days after planting, the results are disappointing. Just one lily leaf 4 inches tall. I wait in hope.

 My friend and I like gnomes. I bought her this gnome taking a nap for her birthday and I liked it so much cause it makes me smile that I bought myself one too. I spent the birthday money from my sis on the blue lily bulbs and the gnome. 

Here are 4 mixed pink tiger lily bulbs I planted a month ago in a large pot. They all bloomed and are the red color. 

I have so much fun and do quite a bit of work in the garden.  These days at my age I do mainly watering and planting. Zinnias are a favorite seed to plant as they grow readily. If you read my blog a lot you know my favorite is Purple Prince Zinnia. Gardening is good for the soul. You fellow gardeners know what I mean.
