Garden Bloggers Bloom Day February 2021

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.

My impatien that I took a cutting of, and rooted, is happy on a northern windowsill. Yesterday it opened its third bloom.   The blooms come one at a time.


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.

  1. ...I always thought that Rochester was zone 5, but with global warming I think that it's zone 6.

  8. No 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!

  11. Thanks for sharing flowers. It's so cold and dreary here in Indiana. It's nice to see another aspect from nature.
