Looking for my Music Moves Me Monday post? It can be found here.
I hope, if you are here for music, you'll stay here for the flowers before you click on the above link.
Today is the 15th of the month and it's time to show what is blooming in our yards and/or houses. As I blog this, millions down in Texas and other areas in the south and midwest are experiencing fierce ice and/or snow. I lived in Texas back in January, 1977 when Wichita Falls had a historic ice and snow storm, so my heart goes out to those in that area.
Where I live in zone 5b New York State, winter is in full force, but that's normal for us. One would think there are no flowers in my small yard. You see nothing but snow. But do a little digging. Under the snow, we may find a white Lenten Rose, sheltering in place. But I'm not going to dig through the snow to take it's picture.
If we are lucky we may have crocuses out by mid-March. We'll see.
As for inside the house, I just have a sprinkling of flowers for you today
The primrose that I bought right after New Years is finishing up.
This is the mum I decided on for my Valentine's Day gift. I'd rather spend the money on a plant (even if it's one that won't ever make it if I plant it outdoors) than some cut flowers that are already dead.
My Thanksgiving cactii have been blooming in slow motion, one flower ever few months. This is their latest effort.
An African violet is blooming with a bloom and a bud. That's it. The foliage is doing great, maybe too great. I wonder if I over-fertilized it.
Finally, I have a happy spider plant that is producing baby spiderettes No blooms are open today but I have several buds on the three spiderettes.
That's it for my blooms this February. Why not visit some of the other bloggers who participate in this monthly meme?
Thanks go once again to Carol at May Dreams Garden, who brings us together each month.
I love all your flowers!!!
ReplyDelete...I always thought that Rochester was zone 5, but with global warming I think that it's zone 6.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty flowers
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I especially like the Valentine's Day mum.
ReplyDeleteHappy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!
Spring will be here before you know it. Nice blooms for February.

On this icy February day, I needed this! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNo outdoor flowers here right now ... just about 2 feet of snow. In summer, my blooming plants (unless they are behind a fence) become a salad bar for roaming deer. I wish I had your green thumb for indoor plants, but sadly, I do not!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Thank you! Thank you! A bit warmer here today. Only -22 (C)! A huge improvement! Makes me think flowers will soon be possible!
ReplyDeleteFlowers!! I almost forgot how beautiful they are.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing flowers. It's so cold and dreary here in Indiana. It's nice to see another aspect from nature.
