...warning... new gardener alert... all advice offered with free grain of salt...

I just put a gardenia in the ground a couple weeks ago and I had one bloom pop up overnight and now it's covered in buds but none have opened... I thought maybe the first one was an early bloomer and the rest are just on their way.

It seems happy, foliage is dark green and it's shooting new leaves out. I water it pretty regularly and it's in a plant bed with mulch to keep it moist.

Here it is, with split-leaf philodendron on the left and something called "bear's breech" (which I LOVE!) on the right.
