My mom gave me a bag of lily bulbs from Aldi for my birthday, and since they were cheap, we weren’t sure if they’d do much of anything. They’ve been slowly growing for a couple of months with just a few small leaves, and then within the last few days huge buds formed on a couple of the plants. And then all of a sudden … this gorgeous flower appeared! Maybe I’m on my way to having a green thumb?
I shot this photo a couple of weeks ago at Powell Gardens. If you can’t tell how much I loved it, check out the other 5 photos I’ve already posted. And there might just be one more on the way.

Thanks to the former homeowners, we have a beautiful rose bush blooming in our front yard!
I love this bright, beautiful (and interactive!) flower growing in my garden. Do you know what kind of flower it is?
In case you missed the others this season….
The petunias in my back yard are booming right now … or blooming like crazy … however you want to say it. They’re gorgeous. I wish the ones out front were doing as well. Either they need more sun or they like to be close together. Anyone know the trick?
I’m proud to say this pansy is part of my flower garden. It’s the first time I’ve been able to say that, since this is first year I’ve had a house and a garden. Here’s to keeping it alive!!
In case yesterday’s photo wasn’t bright enough, today I bring you to the center of a bright yellow tulip.
Ah, the epitome of spring. This is one of my favorite photos from this season so far … can you name the flower?
This is part of an adorable housewarming gift we received recently. I can’t wait for it to warm up (for good!) so I can add this little guy to my garden.
I’m thoroughly enjoying the bright sunny skies and warm temperatures. Yesterday I went for a run through several neighborhoods near my home, and I got to enjoy the scenery with everyone’s flowers and trees blossoming. (Side note: I’m not looking forward to temps plummeting into the 30s later this week.)
