The form of the p orbitals that we are familiar with are the $\mathrm{p}_x$, $\mathrm{p}_y$, and $\mathrm{p}_z$ orbitals:

I also know that the p subshells have the quantum number $l = 1$, meaning that the magnetic quantum number can take the three values $m_l = -1, 0, +1$. Which orbital has which value of $m_l$?
