I have a azalea and gardenia that will not bloom does anyone know why?
I fertilize with miracid but nothing happens I have others that bloom.
Thanks for the answers I received, to reiterate further I bought these plants at home depot appr. 8 mos. ago no buds at that time expected they would appear but so far nothing, I fertilized, morning sun etc, if they need to be polinated we have had very few bees this year or do they need another plant of the same type to set buds. I have 3 other azaleas that are doing fine even without bees.

Well, starting with the time of year that it is I am not surprised. Other than that, it is not that unusual for azaleas and rhododendrons to spend their first months in the ground developing roots instead of setting flower buds. If they were planted last year and bloomed beautifully, remember those buds were set the year before in nursery conditions and before the roots were disturbed taking them out of containers.
Other than their age and length of time planted, reasons for failure to bloom are too much shade, pruning wrong time of year, overfertilizing, drought in summer when buds for the next year are being set. If they look healthy and are not in too much shade (#1 cause), you may just need to be patient another year.
Gardenias are heavy feeders, too. They do not like to be cultivated and love to be misted daily at the right time of year.

Amaryllis ... just bloomed
These flowers were just beginning to bloom when we had a terrible storm. We had 6 inches of rain and high winds. You can see one of the stem flowers, they call these "Funnel Flowers" looks like a little flower. The leaves on this one are not fully open yet.
