This is a 3 year old (almost) clearance and they are doing fine and have made a lot of babies:



Last year's 50% off after Mother's Day...I bought 2, both bloomed twice already Jan and now blooming again.

They are both beautiful! You got seeds from the Gerbera to grow?

Keith no, I don't know where to find the seeds. Are those visible to naked eye or are they super tiny.

When the flower dies they are a ball of dark fluff attatched to flower stem in the middle, they are long brown seeds and easy to see.

Keith, I will pay closely this time. I usually cut off the dead blooms and put them
Inside the pot but I didn't see any babies growing.

We did great at Lowes today I was given a gift certificate for Christmas and we have been using it
to get things the house needed. Today while picking up some of the siding that came in I went to the plant dept.to
look around They had Encore Azalea on clearance from 26.99 each to 10.00 so I took the 5
white ones home I have wanted them for years but, always way to expensive We also re-home a yellow-leaved arborvitae for 5.00 I love clearance plants

I used to buy one azalea per year, around Easter, to give to my mother. We had a few in each place we lived!

Not expensive or rare varieties, just whatever was pretty and on display before Easter.

I have a few others from our other house that I have moved with us . A couple red ones and a couple yellow ones
and our Home now came with a few that will need to be moved if I want them to live. But, the Encore blooms a
couple times a year

You have to leave the flowers on for seeds to develop

gosh, Shannon, clearance already? They don't waste any time! Weather here is looking really wintry tomorrow- maybe I can snag some clearance Monday when they don't move as much stock as they like on an April weekend.

Got 4 outdoors plants on clearance for a total of $4! They all will be fine with care and flower once established. One is the ball shaped English Daisy, another variegated calla lily, one other was some sort of blue flower, and another looks like a cross between a rose and peony but with parsley looking leaves.

Ooohh, I can't think what that blue flower is, but it sounds beautiful. Can you post a photo? sounds like something I must have, LOL!

Blue flower maybe Lithodora?

I got junk shelf stuff already from Lowe's! A dianthus and a creeping phlox.

Found it, lowes blue pincushion

Was at the Lowe's in Rockford, IL, yesterday. Not much on their death rack. There was a sago palm I'd have liked to take with me, but I didn't want to pay $6.00 for it. LOL I need to check at the local WM tomorrow when I go through town and see if they have any Easter orchids left for a pittance. :>)

The rose, peony thing is probably a Ranunculus? A very good description of the flowers and foliage. Also kmown as a buttercup.

Or the Rose like peony may be a Camelia?

That's it Guess I gave a good description

Having just read this entire thread I feel I must stop at Lowe's to check out the clearance racks when I go to the dentist on Tuesday. Seems like a good reward for surviving a dental appointment. Wish me luck.
