Anticipation! These are a few of the medinilla photos as it slowly opened over 5 weeks. It was a fist sized bud at first, now the panicle of flowers is about 9" long.

Just got home from Publix, our grocery store, and they had about a gazillion potted Easter lilies. I am assuming, because of the unusually cold weather, they were still in bud, very few flowers. They should be beautiful for weeks and do very well in the garden. Usually after Easter the stores sell them for about $1 so keep your eyes open for the bargains. There are usually 3 or 4 bulbs in each pot.
