Garden Bloggers Bloom Day February 2022

Unbelievable - it's the 15th of February.  How the weeks have flown by.  And now, it's the second Garden Bloggers Bloom Day of 2022.

Less than six weeks of winter now, in my zone 5b New York State garden, all the action is indoors.  Maybe by next month, I'll have something blooming outdoors?  In the meantime, I have some plants blooming under lights, mainly in my home office.  I can't believe how many flowers I have for this GBBD; it must be a personal record for me.

The impatien I grew from a cutting continues to flower.

The African violet plant in my kitchen window.  I recently transplanted it into a larger pot, and it is rewarding me with blooms.  I'm pretty sure there are two plants in there but I am just letting it be.

This is not your normal African violet; it comes from a specialty breeder elsewhere in New York.  The foliage is supposed to be variegated but it isn't.  The flowers are small, but I still like the plant.

This plant is tradescantia Blossfeldiana cerinthoides variegata.   I bought it at a local nursery during their holiday open house and it must be happy under the lights in my home office because they bloom when they are happy. 

Here's a closeup (as much as my old iPhone will allow) of the flower. 

A viola which I took in before the hard freeze. 

My airplane plant has put out an "airplane" which is blooming.

My second amaryllis I bought last year is finishing up its bloom.

Finally, here's a surprise.  I have a couple of Vicks plants (Plectranthus tomentosa) which I desperately need to cut back. For some reason, I never get around to it and it's not as if I was super busy.  Sunday, I thought I would do it but, to my surprise, the plants were flowering!
