Cooooooool!!

Awwww...nice to see some flowers again this time of year when it's cold and snowing our way.

Nice pics.

this Weekend and Next weekend It will be time to cut down and cover all my brugs,, You have NOOOOOOOOOOO idea how this is going to hurt to have to cut them down to the ground I started these with 6 inch starters I had to root, then pot them up and let them frow for a couple of months then plant in ground in the spring,,, and watch them grow, and bloom,, This picture I took today is the third Flush since July,,

Charles Grimaldi,, Best flush of blooms yet!! The upside down bucket is was a brug to0 Pink Beauty)( I have already cut down and stuffed the Bucket with leaves to over winter it,,
soon this CG will be the same!!






These are unnamed Pink and snowcone,, looking at them for one last time this year,,

ok, i'm late posting this pic, but the first week of nov, i was outside and shocked to find this!

wow

Diane, I love your Cotton Candy brugs better than any of the other colors!! They are all beautiful, but that's my favorite one!!!

that's what i said diane. and there was another bud, but i haven't looked to see if it made it. that is the most neglected plant i have, and it just grows and blooms to spite me

Thanks Shirls,,,,,,,, It smellllll sooooo sweet too!!




Jiffy have you pruned that rose bush this year??? I have roses blooming also.. It was only cold over TG holiday,, and it's back in the 70-'s again,, Confusing a lot of flowers here,, I have the same marigold bloomimg over and over again since spring,, I've never had them last so long,,

and One of the rose bushes that didn't bloom well spring season,( past years it always did) is now blooming,, Weird how that happened so late in the fall ..

i didn't prune it this year or last year. i'll get it soon, i know it needs it. it is another "grows in the weeds" plant. but i love rose bushes. one day, i'll have zillions of them!

WOW is right!

Diane - those brugs are amazing!!! How I wish I could grow them here!
But you certainly have the magic touch!!!

Jiffy - that rose is a beautiful color!

Here is my Thanksgiving cactus in bloom today - it's such a day brightener!

my cactus just dropped all its buds...i guess its not getting enough lite??

well good news is I have three different pots of paperwhites blooming (one in one pot, one in a glass dish with two others, and one in a pot which is blooming the second time) i don't see anymore flowers blooming underneath all this snow

paperwhites count kenny

lynne, that is awesome. mine isn't doing anything

my camellias blooming today.

WOW Sheri Those are gorgeous!!

Sheri--your flowers are beautiful!!!
the top one should be in a picture frame....stunning.

Sheri, those are breathtaking.

A great way to cheer up a boring cold day!!

Hi Sheri...

your camellias r simply stunning...emm make me green with envy...s my cutting that i planted sooo long ago...hadnt done anything...it had two glossy green leaves on when planted...n these 2 stayed on the cutting sooo very long...until recently one dropped leaving d other alone...but m not gonna pull it out until it has turned black n i m sure it's a goner.... BUT IT HAS BEEN SOOO VERY LONG..!!

BTW...remember my promise to u...since spring is just around d corner...n i know u all r ready to b sowing again....so this morning i made a stop at d PO n posted d seeds i promised...they r yellow, white n pink 4 O' Clocks (plus some Purple Hyacinth Bean n Butterfly Pea flower seeds)...sorry i cant guarantee d seeds will grow true to d parent plants...s they all grow together in d same garden.....

Have a nice day..!

...n here r some flowers from my garden...

My Princess flower...



..n a deep red gladioli...think it was from angelblossom...Diane..thax again..


n finally my orchid is blooming again...


Have a nice day everyone..!

You have a great memory. I had totally forgotten about that.

Do you think I can root you a camellia? The branches are not close to the ground or I'd lay a rock on one and see if it would root in the dirt. I'll have to cut a branch off to root it.

oooh thanx for d kind offer...but no thank you.... primarily coz i don't think d cutting would b able to withstand d long journey to malaysia..it would be such a waste of your effort then...

secondly...think d cutting i have is not picking up becoz ...well could it b becoz Camellias doesnt like our heat n humidity...? Sighh...well...i m such a stubborn old lady who doesnt want to give up despite what... or may be d location it is in doesnt get enough sun for it to grow...? It is rather shaded from d sun but does get some morning sun... what do u think..?

Aw, I'm so jealous....

I think they don't like the heat. Here they bloom in the winter, even in the snow.

but they grow great here in savannah which has the worst humidity of anywhere i've ever been except guam! and it gets hot here too, it was 80+ today

simply beautiful, Sheri

Hi Jiffymouse...

could it b that we do have a somewhat similar climate condition...? ..n does your camellia grow well...n bloom well?? Aaww i m sooo jealous...!!

i will have to content myself with what i have here....this is a Pereskia...it is believed d leaves have anti-cancer properties...n i know of a woman who boils d leaves n drink d water s remedy for her hypertension...said hospital medicine makes her sleepy...i sometimes eat d leaves raw...should make it a habit...but...



..n here r some pics of another of my orchids...ahh this one is fragrant especially in d evening...





Enjoy...n have a nice day everyone.....

your orchids are absolutely stunning!!!!

Geee thanx kenny.... what i love abt this orchid is d fragrance... i'll get a whiff of it whenever i pass by it... n it happens to b situated by our main route for getting in n out of d house... well its just outside d front door!

That humidity seems to make for beautiful flowers. We have high humidity here too but not the pretty flowers it seems.

little flowers on the spirea




crocus




daffodils coming up




hellebores which usually is the only thing other than the camellias blooming in February.

Lovin' these pics.

It was 26 this morning. I'll have to check and see if it hurt the flowers. I know the hellebores will be ok but I'm not sure about the daffs.
