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.

Those were great things to spend your birthday money on. I hope the blue lily grows because it really is beautiful.
I agree about gardening being good for the soul!
What a cute gnome and that blue lily is gorgeous. I hope yours grows more.
How disappointing that your special spider lily bulbs aren't performing.
I used to love gardening when I lived where one would thrive. We don't get enough sunshine at our home to grow flowers. Have a great day!
The blue lily is fabulous! I do hope you get some better results. Maybe the bulbs are just acclimating to the new environment. Your gnome makes me smile too.
Enjoy your gardening
I hope your special lily will surprise you some day with a blossom! I love the cute gnome you bought too! It's fun to have some whimsy in the garden!! I have some sadly neglected tiny little gnomes in my garden. I need to go look at them and probably straighten them up and wash off some dirt. It's been a while. It's been too hot here to go out and look!
Yes, gardening is good for the soul. I like your gnome!
I love gnome’s too.
I’ve been planting bulbs and I’m excited to see them come up and bloom.
