Remember when? Remember warm temperatures? Flowers blooming outdoors? No ice?
We are in the part of the year, here in my zone 6a garden, where we just ache for the first flowers of spring. Maybe next month?
But today is the 15th of the month, when I join with other bloggers at Carol at May Dreams Gardens' Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, to show what is blooming in our yards or homes.
All I can offer you today is some indoor blooms.
The other day, my spider plant was blooming profusely. Of course, today the blooms were shut up tight.
But the handful of impatiens I was able to root last fall are blooming.
My last flowering African violet is finishing up.
Ditto for the kalanchoe a relative gifted me late last year. The flowers were being shy so I propped the one remaining flower stalk up with a fork.
In the meantime, I continue to dream of spring.
Why not visit Carol's blog (link above) and see what else is blooming in our world?
Of course the spider plant was camera shy. But the others are beautiful
ReplyDelete...hurray for interior flowering plants!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for indoor plants! Living in a part of the country where snow and a real winter is something I can only imagine, I often think I'd like a winter break - but only if it lasted no longer than a month! Southern California finally got some rain and my garden is already showing off some blooms - we have a problem with drought (and wildfires) but there are always flowers to offer consolation.
ReplyDeleteAlana, I love the color of your Kalanchoe. Thank heaven for indoor plants, they bring us a bit of cheer during these harsh winter months. Hoping that spring is not far behind, Happy Bloom Day!
ReplyDeleteOh my, is it the 15th already? My, this month has flown by.
ReplyDeleteFloral display is always soothing
ReplyDeleteMy four African violets are blooming their little hearts out, as they do more or less continuously, and, outside, the blue plumbago is blooming as it does more or less continuously. The Carolina jessamine is just about to burst into bloom and then I'll know that spring is really on its way.
ReplyDeletethecontemplativecat here. Mom had the violets and they were so wonderful. she could grow anything.
ReplyDeleteKeep enjoying your indoor collection! Spring will be here soon!
