May Dreams Gardens, who hosts a meme every 15th of the month, where gardeners from all over the world gather to show what is blooming in their yards or houses, has spring flowers in her Central Indiana yard.
Iris reticulata. Snowdrops.
Meanwhile, in my zone 5b garden in the Binghamton area of upstate New York, all that is growing is snow. In fact, it is snowing and sleeting right now.
So, indoors we move to our blooms.
As March days are on the same day of the week as February days, so are the flowers in my house repeating the flowers of February.
Our surprise Alternathera (we were told it was a coleus but GBBD readers set me straight) is still blooming nicely in a north window.
But wait, there's more!
Finally, on this hopeful Ides of March day, an unusual green mum I picked up yesterday at a local supermarket graces my dining room table.
Spring can't come fast enough for me.
What is blooming for you today?
Your garden is lovely. I am still working on my back garden which can't seem to come together yet.
ReplyDeleteSpring is on its way. We are finally starting to see signs here on Long Island so you are not too far behind us. It all turned around just about a week ago when the first of the bulbs started popping up. Keep enjoying your indoor blooms...not long now!
ReplyDeleteArgh, I wish some of ours would start blooming. It's been a long Winter and we need some color!
ReplyDeleteNothing fresh blooming here yet - although I have some nice silk blossoms in various colors, just to have the colors and feel of spring.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping I'll have some real flowers in a couple of weeks, on my birthday.
No outdoor blooms here, either. A 10-inch wide patch of bare soil (well, it was bare yesterday) had crocus sprouts poking up. However, crocus only bloom when it's sunny, so it may be a while before I see color.
ReplyDeleteI thought my camellia would not bloom this year because of the deep freeze we had "down south" in South Carolina last month, but I am happy to report that the buds are now beginning to open. And the cherry tree that my husband (thoughtlessly) cut down several years ago has sprouted from the stump, and it is blooming this year as well. Signs of spring for sure! And your indoor garden is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! Nothing blooming here yet either, but I'm glad to see that there is still grass underneath where the snow is melting :) I like your green mums! Hang in there, Spring is coming and we can move outside. Enjoy your week,
ReplyDeleteThe Kalanchoe is beautiful! Thanks for telling me the story behind it. Plants mean so much more when there is a history associated with them.
